Faced Challenges
To develop custom functionalities and algorithms to meet exact needs to boost user experiences using 3rd-party tools.
Seamless communication between the students-teachers was the ultimate key to success, everyone knew it from day one. The team was responsible to find a versatile yet robust platform to be integrated with custom features developed to enhance the overall experience.
Also, as per the requirement, timestamps also should be visible for users from different continents based on their local times to book the sessions as per their time zones.
Project Approach
To map the scope of work we aligned 1 UX designer, 1 UI developer, 2 Laravel resources, 1 QA professional, 2 front-end resources. Our team researched and integrated the Learncube tool that aids to reliable audio/video, unlimited 1:1 classes, classroom features, and tutoring-specific features. Custom calendar view features were set which helped students to see the slot availability based on local timestamps. i.e. Tutors from India and Students from UAE could see the availability time as per their own timezones.
The experts suggested a range of solutions to enhance the web app.
Key Benefits
