The world of education is changing. With the rise of technology, students are no longer limited to learning in a traditional classroom setting. They can now access educational content from anywhere in the world, at any time of day.

To meet the needs of this new generation of learners, we have created a unified learning tool that combines the best of both worlds: the interactivity and engagement of live classes with the convenience and flexibility of online learning.

Our learning management system (LMS) makes it easy for instructors to create and deliver live classes, as well as record and share their sessions with students who are unable to attend in person. The LMS also includes a variety of interactive features that allow students to participate in class discussions, ask questions, and complete assignments.

In addition to live classes, the LMS also offers a wide range of other educational content, including pre-recorded lectures, tutorials, and quizzes. Students can access this content on their own time, at their own pace.

The LMS is built on Drupal CMS, which makes it easy to customize and extend. We are constantly adding new features and functionality to the LMS, based on the feedback of our users.

Valuebound’s product engineering team cloned the application to appear like Moodle, which is LTI-compliant. Hence, the app works as ready-to-go for any LMS. We used Moodle as a bridge for four LMS integrations i.e., Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Desire to Learn (DTL).

Interoperability

There can be more than one way of creating LMS, and some of the standards of complex content creation and integration in LMS are xAPI, AICC, and Learning Tools Interoperability. One of the greatest advantages of LMS is interoperability. Learning Tools Interoperability or LTI is the IMS standard that aims at delivering a uniform framework to integrate any LMS product with the learning application.

Apps built on core LTI have certain advantages, which are explained through fig.1 below.

We have integrated a real-time Live class with live quizzes in the Platform/ app. It works for all IMS Certified LMS. The Integration is user-friendly and does not require any manual interference. All authentication, course, user creation, and quiz sync are automated and handled in the backend.

Scalability

The system is presently capable of handling 500 concurrent students in the same class who can take the online class and get the content anytime they need to access it. This can scale to any number of users given the size of the server capacity. Once the class is completed, the system will be able to merge all the content into a single file and store it for further use by the students.

Easy Assessment & Grading

The instructors can easily assess the performance of students. The existing decoupled Live Classroom Platform is built on Drupal 8, with the Functionality of real-time broadcast (eg. Audio, Video, ScreenCast), classroom chat, real-time class status, attendance proximity, questions, presentation slides, notes, and Quizzes.

The LIVE classroom is the additional capability in the Student Engagement App, apart from the existing functionalities of all LMSs. 

By using Moodle, we catered to the client’s demand for quizzes to be accessed in the Live classroom on the fly. Moodle helps teachers in creating live quizzes on the app, while also assessing students’ performance and grading them on the go.
