Online Learning Management System (LMS)

### Project Overview NacroSoft developed an **Online Learning Management System (LMS)** for a prestigious university to facilitate remote learning. The platform hosts thousands of video lectures, interactive assignments, and peer discussion forums. ### Problem Statement The university needed to transition to a hybrid learning model but lacked the infrastructure to support high-quality video streaming and student engagement online. Existing tools were disjointed and offered poor user experience. ### Solution Provided We built a scalable video-first LMS. The platform supports adaptive bitrate streaming for low-bandwidth areas. It includes gamification elements like badges and leaderboards to keep students motivated, along with a secure exam browser for online assessments. ### Technologies Used * **Frontend:** React.js, Next.js * **Backend:** Python Django * **Database:** PostgreSQL * **Video:** AWS Elemental MediaConvert * **Cloud:** AWS (CloudFront, S3) ### Key Features * **Video Streaming Engine:** Smooth playback with adaptive quality based on internet speed. * **Interactive Quizzes:** In-video questions to test comprehension in real-time. * **Discussion Forums:** Threaded discussions with rich text and code block support. * **Progress Tracking:** Detailed analytics on student completion rates and performance. * **Certificate Generation:** Automated PDF certificates upon course completion. ### Business Impact * **Enabled 50,000+ students** to access education remotely during the pandemic. * **Increased course completion rates by 30%** via gamification strategies. * **Reduced server costs by 40%** through optimized video delivery. ### Team Size 8 Members ### Role Breakdown * **EdTech Specialist (PM):** Guided the pedagogical features of the platform. * **Frontend Developer:** Built the immersive course player and student dashboard. * **Backend Developer:** Handled user authentication, progress tracking, and report generation. * **Cloud Architect:** Optimized video storage and CDN delivery for global access. * **UI/UX Designer:** Designed an accessible interface compliant with WCAG 2.1 standards.
