This client delivers live and recorded lessons through online courses. Learner activity, assessments, and course access are part of its daily administration. The learning management software brings course content and live classes into one system. Educators create courses, teachers run classes, learners complete lessons, and administrators manage access and records.

Summary

Problem

The client delivers live and recorded lessons and manages learner activity and course access.

Solution

The solution became a custom learning management system for courses, classes, and learner records.

Result

The platform is made to reduce the manual work involved in delivering online education.

Client story

The client is an online education provider from the United Kingdom. It delivers live and recorded lessons through online courses and supports educators, learners, and administrators.

Its work includes learner activity, assessments, and course access. Paid enrolments, invoices, and transaction history also require administration.

The request was simple: provide responsive web access, with iOS and Android applications where required, and keep user and course data synchronized. The platform also needed assessments, progress reporting, and payment-based enrolment.

The solution was shaped as connected modules for course management, live classrooms, learner study, and progress reporting. Administration was provided alongside these modules so the main learning activities stayed in one online education platform.

The client asked for

  1. Provide web access and synchronized mobile apps where required
  2. Add assessments with grading or auto-evaluation results
  3. Track activity, progress, scores, and time spent
  4. Sell courses and manage payments, invoices, and transactions

Why ready-made software did not fit

Ready-made online learning platforms cover course creation, educational content, and selling. Some also include a marketplace. This client's request combined live classes, recorded lessons, learner progress, paid enrolments, and administration in one custom LMS.

Project overview

The solution was designed around one connected learning management system for educators, learners, and administrators. Course content, live classes, learner activity, and payments are managed through dedicated modules.

To handle course creation, a course editor was provided with lesson sections and video uploads. Text lessons and assessments are also organized within each course.

The live classroom brings video streaming, chat, and a whiteboard into one teaching space. Screen sharing, attendance, and recording controls support live classes.

The learner workspace presents course navigation, video lessons, and text materials. Downloads, quizzes, tests, and completion status support self-paced study.

The administration module manages role-based accounts, course access, and enrolments. Payment records, invoices, and transaction history are stored with the administration data.

Could ready-made systems do the job?

Before the design, the task was compared with ready-made products by their own descriptions.

What the client needs Online course platforms Graphy, FreshLearn, Mastera Learning platforms DataCamp, Echo360, go4clic Membership platforms MemberPress, Gurucan Custom solution

By the public descriptions of the products and their category.

Ready-made products cover important parts of course creation, teaching, assessments, progress, and paid access. A ready-made product is enough when only one of these parts is needed.

This client needed live and recorded education, learner records, and paid enrolments in one place. The client's roles, progress, and administration requirements were not fully covered by one ready-made product.

In the end

In the end, the solution was made for one place to manage course content, live classes, and learner progress. Paid enrolments were included in the same system.
