Features Must Have In Your E Learning Platform

What Are The Top 10 Features Your E-Learning Platform Should Have?

Do you know what are the top 10 features that top e-learning platform development companies in India recommend?

No? Well, here’s a list that we’ve combined for you!

1. Make a User-friendly and intuitive learner interface.

Have you ever turned off a game because of how complicated the instructions are or because how long it’s taking you to get used to the interface? It’s the same in an e-learning platform. When designing an e-learning platform, it is imperative to keep in mind the user’s experience.

It takes an average user two tries before they decide to give up on any software. Any user should be able to navigate through your platform using all devices without difficulty. Notice how there’s a uniformity of design in the following platform? A user doesn’t need separate how-to videos to learn how to use the platform.

2. Make it compatible with Popular External APIs.

Most e-learning platforms use external APIs for additional student lists, payrolls, student fees, assignment due dates, etc. Manually adding hundreds of users every year is time-consuming. All these require regular updating. And to do this manually, you’ll need more staff and time, which means more money.

But if you synchronise your e-learning platform with reliable external APIs, the data will be transferred automatically. You’ll save cost, time and effort! The idea is to automate the process as much as possible.

3. Check your Deep Analytics, Reporting and Certification

Like every teacher, you need to keep track of how your students are doing in the course: how many engage in it to completion, how many dropout midways or how many give up because of an assignment? If you add an engagement analytics feature, you can get a snapshot like the one below which will help you understand your audience:

Analytics and Reporting

Adding deep analytics will help you track the success of your course and your students. You can create report cards, offer badges after level completion and even give your students a certificate after course completion.

4. Create a Personalized Learning Path

Would you read chapters 1-10 in chronological order? Or would you rather do your favourite chapters first and then come back to the boring ones? Students do this all the time and therefore creating a personalised learning path is another way to get ahead in the market. Students or professionals can choose the learning path they want and then unlock different modules to define this.

5. Make an Online Course Catalogue

Online Course

Instead of redirecting your student to 10 pages to read details about the course, make a catalogue. A course catalogue can help you develop marketing strategies or find the gap in your curriculum, but it’s just as important for a student. A catalogue is a one-stop-shop for all students’ needs. It contains all information regarding the course – starting with what modules it covers, the teachers or professors for each module to what future career paths it offers.

It can help the student determine the pros and cons of a course and figure out whether they want to sign up for the course. Online course catalogues are easy to navigate and can distribute a lot of information in simple-to-understand ways.

6. Add Collaboration and social learning tools.

If you’re a teacher, you’ve noticed that every time you assign a project, your students will ask you whether they can do it in groups. Why not provide group projects on your e-learning platform too? A collaborative platform will allow student-to-student interaction and make it more ‘social’.

The biggest advantage of adding this social element is that it increases the engagement and popularity of your platform.

For example, a student who has found a module useful or easy is more likely to share or discuss this with others using the messaging option on the platform rather than through other media. This is a direct collaborative effort from the student to create a unified base of users.

7. Responsive Design Features.

responsive design

Internet loading speeds define the user’s experience. If your e-learning platform is easily accessible during certain times of the day but is slow in loading during others, it is likely your users will be frustrated. This is because the website doesn’t have a good response rate. Your e-learning platform should be accessible and responsive at all times. This means that your platform should have the same swift loading speed and compatibility with all devices so that user experience is excellent.

8. Supports E-commerce

The one reason why students prefer e-learning is that they don’t have to buy ten different books and go through them. But, what if you’re interested in making workbooks or test sheets? How do you market that if you’re only an e-learning platform?

This is where you partner with an e-commerce business. Integrating an e-commerce partner can help you market your product. If you’ve done that, all you need to do is add links at appropriate intervals that redirect the student to the ‘shop’.

9. Gamification.

Have you played the same Candy Crush level, over and over again, until you win? Most people are likely to play the same game over and over until they win.

Gamification of simple modules can easily help improve engagement. They increase the learner’s motivation and interest and act as an interactive tool for your platform. You can include three types of games: a level-up system, a timed-quiz or a character-led storyline. Given below is the example of a level-up learning system.

10. Variety in Learning Resources

The biggest problem with offline learning is that you have only one resource: textbooks. Online learning can change this. What if your students can choose between audios, videos, games or PowerPoint? Won’t that make learning fun?

Adding several different types of learning resources gives students the option of how they want to learn. With these 10 features, you can create a user-friendly e-learning platform. However, finding the right e-learning platform development company in India is important.
