Project Overview

We partnered with a US-based education software development company to create an advanced and interactive eLearning platform development solution tailored for educators in both K–12 and higher education. This solution is designed to transform the way teachers plan lessons—offering a highly intuitive, digital book-style interface and a dynamic, block-based planning system that is fully editable, reusable, and aligned with learning standards. With admin-moderated access to a curated library of eBooks, videos, audios, and articles, the platform allows educators to efficiently search, tag, and structure lesson plans by grade, subject, or skill level. Features like Kindle-style UX, student tagging, role-based content privacy, and custom subscription models enhance personalization while significantly reducing weekly lesson prep time. As a comprehensive tool under the umbrella of education technology solutions, this platform stands out as a full-scale innovation in e learning app development, empowering teachers to deliver well-organized and impactful instruction with ease.

Tackling Roadblocks in Modern Lesson Planning

Tackling Roadblocks in Modern Lesson Planning
Manual Planning Consumes Time and Effort

Manual Planning Consumes Time and Effort

Educators often spend hours each week manually preparing lessons, reusing nothing from past work. The absence of reusable templates adds to workload and reduces time available for classroom engagement

No Central Repository for Teaching Resources

No Central Repository for Teaching Resources

Teachers lacked a centralized hub for curriculum-aligned books, media, and resources. Searching across platforms fragmented the planning process and hindered cohesive lesson delivery.

No Personalization by Grade, Skill, or Strategy

No Personalization by Grade, Skill, or Strategy

Without personalization tools, lesson plans couldn’t be tailored to specific grades, learning goals, or reading strategies—limiting their effectiveness for diverse classroom needs and student abilities.

No Student Tagging or Tracking Features

No Student Tagging or Tracking Features

Teachers had no way to tag students needing special attention or track lesson impact. This made differentiated instruction and progress monitoring harder to achieve.

Admins Lacked Content Visibility & Control

Admins Lacked Content Visibility & Control

Administrators couldn’t control which users accessed which books or align materials to standards. This reduced compliance and flexibility in content distribution.

No Post-Delivery Revision Workflow

No Post-Delivery Revision Workflow

After lessons were delivered, educators had no ability to revise or annotate plans based on feedback or classroom outcomes, stalling continuous improvement.

Disconnected Handling of Mixed Content Types

Disconnected Handling of Mixed Content Types

There was no way to unify PDFs, videos, audio files, or blog links within a lesson plan—forcing teachers to juggle multiple tools and platforms.

Lack of Engaging eBook Reading Interface

Lack of Engaging eBook Reading Interface

Without a modern UX, users missed essential features like pagination, highlighting, dark/light modes, and inline note-taking—key for immersive reading and content interaction.

Limited Control Over Roles and Subscriptions
