Virtual Classroom Solution
Objective
One of the leading educational institutions that approached us was focused on the development of an agile scalable virtual classroom solution that would easily transform
their learning environment from physical to virtual. Their prime objective was to provide continuous learning sessions for students and instructors across the geographies while providing an interactive feature for better engagement. Besides, the institution also wanted the system to manage a large number of concurrent users, provide security, and streamline admin processes.

Challenges
- Scalability: Client needed such an implementation that can cater tens of
thousands of concurrent students and educators in one live session with no
latency or loading. - User Engagement: The available tools online learning were not competent
enough to provide an engaging experience with live interaction, quiz, and
real-time feedback. - Seamless Experience of the user: The shift from a traditional classroom to an
online context should never feel like a hassle. Simplicity of the user interface
should not get compromised when hosting complex backend systems. - Data Security and privacy: As student data involves sensitive information, the
institution wanted to ensure utmost security with regards to data protection laws. - Administrative Overhead: When it came to online calendars, grading and
attendance, managing them the way that educators and administrators used to
was much time-consuming.
Solutions
- Azure Cloud Infrastructure: We have hosted a scalable and secure cloud
infrastructure on Microsoft Azure to host the voluminous number of concurrent
users to ensure high performance and zero-downtime during live sessions. - Engagement-enabling Features: We developed interactive tools, such as
real-time quizzes, live chat, breakout rooms, and virtual whiteboards, using
ReactJS for the responsive front-end and NodeJS to cope with any event in
real-time. Those features enabled highly enhanced participation and engagement
among students. - Streamlined User Experience: Due to the use of ReactJS, an overly
user-friendly interface has been developed where it is easy for students and
teachers to navigate through the site. Through .NET C#-based backend, the
differing types of user roles-student, teacher, admin-were easily enabled by the
platform. - Automation of Administrative Procedures: We automated attendance
tracking, grade management, and scheduling that reduced the efforts of
educators to do manual work and hence helped them to focus more on teaching.
The website also was equipped with the reporting feature, which could be
customized to suit the needs of administrators monitoring overall performance
and engagement metrics.
Results:
- Increased Usage: Student Engagement has increased to 30% owing to the use of real-time interaction tools and features that enable students to participate with educational content in a better way and thus lead to improved learning outcomes.
- Scalability and Performance: The system managed concurrent users over 10,000 without experiencing performance issues thus ensuring smooth learning experiences even during usage at peak times.
- Enhanced Efficiency in Administration: Tasks such as scheduling, grading, and attendance tracking were reduced by 40% free time was availed for other strategic educational initiatives meant for staff members.
- Safety and Compliances: The delivery platform ran on all the necessary safety measures, ensuring all users’ safety and privacy.
Conclusion:
Adorebits’ customized Virtual Classroom Solution not only met but exceeded the objectives of the client, setting a new benchmark for online education platforms in order to help the institution deliver a modern, interactive, and scalable learning environment.
