End-to-end eLearning Competencies
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 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.
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. Educational solutions must be responsive and user-friendly on all devices and screen sizes.
If not, they quickly lose audience appeal.
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 the knowledge.
Then, based on the obtained information, they can identify weak points and improve the learning process.
Learning systems 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 a seamless integration.
Providing great content that appeals to students requires 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.
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 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 substantially decrease barriers to entry. Teachers use these instruments to effectively design their courses. The use of pre-designed template libraries or template generators ensures teachers make attractive-looking courses fast.
They focus on producing quality content, not on external decoration or learning how Web systems work from within.
An interactive dashboard is the key element of any LMS. Dashboards help track learning process, set targets for groups and single students, and monitor time users spend on different activities and course chapters.
Automated reports are also available from a well-designed eLearning dashboard. Using dashboards, teachers can evaluate course effectiveness.

General
Custom eLearning means a course is developed tailoring to the needs of a certain audience to specific content.
A tailor-made course makes it possible to fit in best with the aims and learning habits of a narrow, target audience and help them progress faster than taking a “general” learning course.
eLearning development means using digital technologies to produce learning content from anywhere around the world considering core principles and limitations of digital platforms.
Tech-savvy students benefit from learning materials and exercises presented in an engaging, interactive manner.
In short, she/he prepares electronic, computer-based courses. There is a difference between an eLearning developer and an eLearning software developer. This former develops the course.
The latter develops and launches the software platform on which the course runs.
Unfortunately, no eLearning development software is considered the best. The software depends on tailored needs of a specific audience, your level of computer proficiency, and the 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.
