Final Product and Outcome.
Hailing from one of the most technologically progressive Country, Our Client from U.S., San Diego always had an aspiration to reap the astonishing benefits that technology has to offer and adopt it to leverage the educational system all over the Globe!
And Hence the idea of “School Friendzy” initially named as “Math Friendzy” came into existence.
Our Client, An acclaimed publisher and author of books with more than 4.5 million sold copies was not new to the world of Software Development.
In the past, He already had associated with diverse development projects and is a proud owner of several successful software solutions.
It was around the year of 2013, that our Client started to envision a digital educational platform that would greatly help students to learn and grow their knowledge curve.
What made Our Client’s idea one-of-a-kind was the perception to make learning a fun experience.
It started out as a basic and simple idea: To shape up a digital learning platform that encompasses creative and interactive ways for students to easily grasp and understand the concepts of Mathematics.
Some of the initial ideas put forward by our Client was:
But the final product manifolded into an intricate, multi-featured and an all-roundeddigital learning tool that ended up winning various awards and accolades for revolutionizing the way of learning as well as teaching.
Being a large scale project, We faced numerous challenges from time-to-time. But with full determination and a commitment
to deliver the finest product to our Client, We managed to successfully overcome all the challenges that came in our way.
Initially, this was a small project and was not expected to turn out into a gigantic one. But with time more and more features were included into the Platform which raised the matter of scalability. With increased scope and features, We needed an intricate system that Fis more scalable and can handle such expansion efficiently.
Molding the architecture of the Application to support scalability and STRATEGIC use of multiple technologies such as:
Originally, Our Client’s requirement for the Application was restricted to only iPhone and Android. But Later, looking at it’s huge scope and future prospects it was decided that the Application should conform to all platforms. This was an unplanned decision and could have resulted result in further extension of the timeline.
ChromeInfotech designed the Application and codes in such a way that it exhibits a responsive UI and the codes can be easily Tweaked to accomodate any platform or device.
At some point of the Project, Our Client was in the hunt for potential investors. This required us to provide updated working models of the Application on a weekly basis so that Our Client can display and present it to the investors.
To efficiently manage and handle this situation, ChromeInfotech adopted the approach of :
A major feature of this digital learning platform is collaborative and interactive learning. So, itt was pretty obvious that we needed to develop a robust system that could handle multiple and parallel communications.
Our first attempt was to use the technologies PHP+Node.js. Unfortunately it turned out to be futile during Load testing. On our second attempt we decided to use technologies used by whatsapp such as - “Erlang” However, this was itself a challenge for Us. This technology was new and different to what ChromeInfotech was accustomed to. But after putting in extra labor and efforts, We emerged out to be successful.
It was apparent from the beginning that Data Security has to be one of the prime aspects of this Application. This is because the digital educational platform is supposed to hold personal data of students as well as teachers.
ChromeInfotech came forward with a strategic plan to use authoritative and commendable security features like:
Such a massive and multi-faceted Application requires constant support and back up after it has been made live in the market. This was important to make sure that Our Client’s Application was working fine and resolve any issues if required.
ChromeInfotech planned out a strategy which included:
ChromeInfotech values and respects the requirements of every Client. So when the Client of this project frequently came up with various alterations, We were determined to manage and fulfill each and every demand of his.
ChromeInfotech first sorted out the priorities of the Project and worked in sync with that. We categorized the tasks according to time and execute the ones requiring less time first.
Features were tailored to accommodate the necessities of both students as well as teachers.
ChromeInfotech developed a feature which supports “Learn together to learn more”.
ChromeInfotech built this feature to bring the concept of study groups to a digital Platform.
Games are fun for students and Healthy Competition can bring out the best in a person. ChromeInfotech collaborated these two aspects and emerged out with the feature of Mathematical Games!
To help students understand or solve a problem, ChromeInfotech came up with a feature that would allow students to get help from an online tutor.
ChromeInfotech developed this educational platform to support two languages: English and Spanish.
This feature is catered to the teachers to create their own personalized assignments They can also tailor make assignments based on a student’s performance and understanding.
This feature enables Teachers to review and give instant feedback on the solutions provided by the students.
Although a lot of hard work and effort went into developing this digital learning platform, it was all
worth it when the Application received a whopping amount of acceptance from various schools and users.
“School Friendzy” has extended into such heights that presently it boasts of almost 16+ million learning resources.
We do our best work in close collaboration with our clients.
