Essential Features for Successful eLearning Software Development
Your distance learning system is successful when it features the same or similar experience as in the classroom. Students can learn well only when they feel comfortable.
These features help attune your software to the needs of end-users. Students learn better and keep pace because they are learning through action and interaction. A win-win.
Educational software development makes the following features possible:
Gamification
Gamification is a must-have eLearning feature.
It tops our customers’ lists for their apps. Educational solutions require badges for completing tasks, leader dashboards, and other similar game-like features. All these engage learners and motivate them to improve their results.
Mobile experience
eLearning software solutions must be oriented towards mobile devices. Students use their smartphones and tablets to search for information, training, and tests. No wonder, requests for app responsiveness continue to come second on our clients’ feature list-right after gamification. Educational solutions must be responsive and user-friendly on all devices and screen sizes.
If not, they quickly lose audience appeal.
Big Data analytics
Big Data is the latest and most beneficial trend in Learning Management System development. In education, Big Data means statistics and analysis of learner data. Teachers get an overview of how effectively students retain their knowledge.
Then, based on the obtained information, they can identify weak points and improve the learning process.
Third-party integrations
Learning solutions exchange data with other software to support the company's processes. This can be ERPs, billing and accounting systems, task management software, social media, and others.
Integration of third-party modules both decreases development timeline and increases software quality.
In case you need to transmit learners’ data to third-party software, you launch an API for it to decrease system load and provide seamless integration.
Multimedia content
Providing great content that appeals to students requires using multimedia. An online learning system lets teachers choose from various types of tools. Teachers can integrate videos, photos and illustrations, and audio narrations into their lessons.
Or they can easily create their own. Screen and file sharing are also essential. They help teachers explain the point faster.
Live communication
Instant, real-time communication is an integral part of an online lesson. Video, audio calls, and text chats present different communication channels students can use to ask questions and share files. Teachers and students can initiate an individual or group discussion.
If needed, lessons can be recorded to help students catch up or prepare for tests.
Easy payments
Easy payments are crucial for any online learning marketplace. Product owners need to integrate common payment providers into their eLearning software.
Students can pay with their local currency; providers handle the conversion.
Teachers can be sure they get the correct payment on time.
Templates and constructors
Templates and constructors lower barriers to online course development. Teachers use these instruments to effectively design their courses.
The use of pre-designed template libraries or template generators ensures teachers make high-quality, appealing courses fast. They focus on producing quality content, not on external decoration or learning how Web systems work from within.
Interactive dashboard
An interactive dashboard is the key element of any LMS. Dashboards help track learning processes, set targets for groups and single students, and monitor the time users spend on different activities and course chapters.
Automated reports are also available from a well-designed eLearning dashboard. Using dashboards, teachers can monitor and evaluate course effectiveness.
questions from our clients
General
What is custom eLearning?
Custom eLearning means a course is developed tailoring to the needs of a certain audience to specific content.
A tailor-made course fits in best with the aims and learning habits of a narrow, target audience and helps them progress faster than taking a “general” learning course.
What is eLearning software development?
eLearning development means process programming, launching, and maintaining a learning platform using digital technologies. Tech-savvy students from all over the world use it to contact teachers.
They also benefit from learning materials and exercises presented in an engaging, interactive manner.
What does an eLearning software developer do?
In short, s/he develops and launches the software platform on which an ecourse runs. There is a difference between an eLearning software developer and an eLearning developer.
The latter prepares electronic, computer-based courses using a platform launched by eLearning software developers.
Which eLearning development software is best?
Unfortunately, no single eLearning development software holds the top place. Software depends on tailored needs of a specific audience, level of computer proficiency, and type of content you want to produce.
If you want to produce your own custom course, we suggest you try Thinkific as your first step.

What are the typical stages of a custom eLearning development process?
The common stages of any eLearning software development include:
- Project discovery
- Planning and cost estimates
- UX / UI design
- Code programming
- QA and Testing
- Launch
- Post-launch guarantee period
- Support, maintenance, and expansion
Do you make custom eLearning software?
Yes, we do. As an eLearning software development company, IT Craft has developed source code for several solutions for our clients and helped them launch successfully, on time, and on budget.
Do you develop eLearning applications?
Yes, we do. We develop both web and mobile apps. The platform depends on features, target platform, and habits of your audience.
How many people are on the eLearning software development team?
Software development requires the following roles on a project:
- Project manager – monitors project progress, tracks status of all tasks, and discusses project progress with both team and client.
- Business analysts – updates requirements and project documentation.
- UI/UX designer – provides designs.
- Software developers – produce source code.
- QA engineers – check already-developed source code.
- DevOps – automate routine tasks on a project. Depending on the project scope, some roles can be part-time.
Can LMS be hosted on a client’s server?
Yes, LMS can be hosted on a client’s server. Moreover, this can be the best option for a corporate-level LMS where security takes higher priority than access to the Internet. However, if quick access from any location in the world is essential, you are wise to either host it in the cloud or rent a dedicated server.
Is there technical support?
Yes, there is technical support. As a full-cycle eLearning software development company, IT Craft has a special team to ensure your app is secure according to the latest security standards and is up and running 24/7. For detailed info, check software administration services.
