However, eduTech has transformed the way technology was perceived for children and students. An eLearning mobile app is not something new. The trend has been around for a while and is expected to stick in the future as well.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, computers were introduced to children by the time they reached grade II or III. And now, we see little toddlers single-handedly opening YouTube to watch their favourite cartoon shows online! The children have become smarter with technology. Today, with apps like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.udemy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Udemy<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coursera<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.duolingo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Duolingo<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Khan Academy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.udacity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Udacity<\/a>\u00a0, an emerging EduTech Industry has come up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16330\" src=\"https:\/\/engineerbabu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Untitled-design.jpg\" alt=\"Popular LMS\" width=\"1200\" height=\"315\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>It is predicted that by 2023, the worldwide\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketsandmarkets.com\/PressReleases\/learning-management-systems.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LMS market size will reach USD 22.4 billion<\/a>. Every major school has made it mandatory for the curriculums to be tech-inclusive in its approach. As evident, the traditional classrooms with whiteboards have got replaced with smart classes all across the world. And why wouldn\u2019t they? It has surely made learning more fun and globally inclusive!<\/p>\n<h2>The Scope of Growth in the EduTech Industry<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The EduTech Industry has grown rapidly and will continue growing in the coming years. By 2020,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2017\/12\/2018-e-learning-trends.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">98% of small businesses are planning to use LMS<\/a>\u00a0to fulfil their learning requirements. Pick any eLearning mobile app and you will find a pool of information distributed across the channel in a simplified, yet detailed manner.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the eLearning mobile apps today will offer real-world projects from the industry experts, 1-on-1 technical mentors, personal career coaches with flexible learning options.\u00a0With no dependency on anyone for anything, not only can one train themselves on a day to day basis, but also on weekends. Through features like discussion boards and chats, effective online interaction with the mentors is facilitated.<\/p>\n<p>Also, this type of online learning incorporates\u00a0the latest technology trends like Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Programming, Autonomous Systems and Cloud Computing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For the past 16 years, small businesses have increased their\u00a0<strong>use of e-learning by 900%<\/strong>, making online learning as the new normal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2013<strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2017\/12\/2018-e-learning-trends.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SmallBizTrends<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Innumerable resources can be linked in several formats:<\/h3>\n<p>Written, audio-visual, pictographic, etc. This is an efficient way of delivering courses online.

Lastly, the\u00a0<strong>a<\/strong><strong>dmin\u2019s portal<\/strong>\u00a0to manage the entire application or website.<\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0Features for the Visitors Section-<\/h3>\n<p>Firstly, the main visiting section of your eLearning portal. It is very important to optimize this as per the specific details of the services you will provide. It does not make sense to include everything, just an overview of what the users\/subscribers can expect out of this mobile app. For instance, a short summary of the courses offered, along with the certifications would suffice.<\/p>\n<p>Let us now take a look at the features to be integrated into this module-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Website Landing page and\u00a0About Us Detail\n<ul>\n<li>Overview and\u00a0Team or Faculty details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>List of courses and\u00a0Browse courses<\/li>\n<li>User Registration (Via Email Id &amp; Registration Form)\n<ul>\n<li>Student &amp; Faculty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>User Login (By Generated Id or Email)<\/li>\n<li>Services Offered,\u00a0Search &amp; Filter function\n<ul>\n<li>By Course,\u00a0Topics and\u00a0Training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Blogs or Articles<\/li>\n<li>Check Courses detail\n<ul>\n<li>Course Index and\u00a0List of the topic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Training &amp; Certifications\n<ul>\n<li>Process,\u00a0Topics Detail,\u00a0Trainer Details and\u00a0Packages &amp; Time Duration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Batch Details (Based on Location)<\/li>\n<li>Course, Training &amp; Certification Packages\n<ul>\n<li>Prices according to country zones and\u00a0Course Duration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Mentoring function,\u00a0Reviews,\u00a0Daily Updates &amp; Facts<\/li>\n<li>Event Details,\u00a0Webinars,\u00a0Training &amp; Certifications details<\/li>\n<li>Student Testimonials,\u00a0Videos Function by Youtube<\/li>\n<li>Live Classes (followed by user registration &amp; Package)<\/li>\n<li>Payment Function<\/li>\n<li>Free Videos &amp; Test function,\u00a0Request for Demo and\u00a0Social Media connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Contact us,\u00a0Live chat, 3rd party<\/li>\n<li>Terms &amp; Conditions,\u00a0Policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>2.\u00a0Student Panel Features-<\/h3>\n<p>Secondly, the part of eLearning Mobile App that would be accessible to the students on your platform. It is very important to decide which criteria of students your mobile app would be catering to. You can either opt for graduates, high school, or elementary kids. Once everything is final, you need to plan out the complexity of the app based on your end-users.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if the target group of users is elementary kids, you cannot make the application too difficult to use. A minimal set of features would be sufficient. Although, an eLearning platform for Graduates or Post-graduates needs to be detailed. You cannot put everything under one or two categories, right?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the features list for this specific module-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>User Login (Via Generated Id or Email Id)<\/li>\n<li>User Authentication,\u00a0User Profile Dashboard and\u00a0Check Student Id<\/li>\n<li>Profile &amp; Account Management<\/li>\n<li>View Service Details\n<ul>\n<li>Courses\n<ul>\n<li>List of courses,\u00a0Courses detail,\u00a0Topics &amp; Index Detail and\u00a0Search &amp; Filter function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Purchase Course<\/li>\n<li>Daily Updates [News, Events]<\/li>\n<li>Course Videos,\u00a0Study Materials<\/li>\n<li>Ask &amp; Comments Questions,\u00a0Set Appointment with Faculty and\u00a0Messaging System<\/li>\n<li>View Course Status and\u00a0Request for Demo<\/li>\n<li>Feedback Function,\u00a0Ratings &amp; Reviews System<\/li>\n<li>Blogs &amp; Articles Functions<\/li>\n<li>Notification Alert (Email or SMS)<\/li>\n<li>Mentoring and\u00a0Test Function\n<ul>\n<li>Grading function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Check Score Card<\/li>\n<li>Payment Function {3rd Party},\u00a0Contact Us function<\/li>\n<li>Help &amp; Support,\u00a0Terms &amp; Conditions,\u00a0Policies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Faculty Panel Features-<\/h3>\n<p>Thirdly, the panel for the faculty that would be teaching on your eLearning mobile app. This has to be broadly categorised in accordance with the subjects covered by the application. Although, it has to be kept in mind, that this section of your mobile application is developed in a scalable manner. You never know how many faculty would be registering. Hence, a detailed database system is a must.<\/p>\n<p>Moving ahead, let\u2019s take a look at the features list for this module-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>User Login\/\u00a0User Authentication<\/li>\n<li>Faculty Dashboard\n<ul>\n<li>Student profiles,\u00a0Attendance,\u00a0Salary Slips and\u00a0Daily Updations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Profile &amp; Account Management and\u00a0Check Faculty Id<\/li>\n<li>Update Expertise Detail and\u00a0Create Courses<\/li>\n<li>Add\/ Edit \/Update \/ Delete [Content, Images, Video, Audio]<\/li>\n<li>Check &amp; Review Student Profiles &amp; Details.<\/li>\n<li>Allot or Assign Task \u2013 Students,\u00a0Check Task Status &amp; Submission<\/li>\n<li>Upload Study Materials and\u00a0Live Classes Request,\u00a0Update details of Classes &amp; Lectures<\/li>\n<li>Share Information &amp; Details with Students,\u00a0Messaging System,\u00a0Live Chat {3rd Party API}<\/li>\n<li>Check Appointments Detail,\u00a0Update Details of Course &amp; Classes,\u00a0Set Timings of Online Courses<\/li>\n<li>Manage Student Test Function,\u00a0Check &amp; Update Student Score Card and\u00a0Set Assignments<\/li>\n<li>Function for Group Discussion (Create Groups) and\u00a0Mentoring functions [to student]<\/li>\n<li>Rating &amp; Reviews,\u00a0Notification Alerts (Email or SMS) and\u00a0Request to Admin\n<ul>\n<li>Payments,\u00a0Holidays or Leave,\u00a0Suggestions,\u00a0Profile Approvals and\u00a0Help &amp; Support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Blogs &amp; Article function<\/li>\n<li>Manage Training &amp; Certifications,\u00a0Contact Us<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>4.\u00a0Admin Panel Features-<\/h3>\n<p>Lastly, the part of the mobile app that will give you the control to overlook everything. It will give you access to manage everything that will be incorporated within. Although it\u2019s necessary to make this customizable as per your app\u2019s scope. Many clients try to make this as personalised as they can. You should too!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the basic structure with the features would look somehow like this-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Login System,\u00a0Overall Control of the portal,\u00a0Admin Dashboard<\/li>\n<li>User Request\n<ul>\n<li>Check Request,\u00a0Approve User Request (Faculty &amp; Students) and\u00a0Generate Registration Id.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Manage Students and\u00a0Faculties<\/li>\n<li>Add\/Update\/Delete user profile &amp; Informations<\/li>\n<li>Check Detail information of the Users<\/li>\n<li>Send Message &amp; Notifications and\u00a0Live Chat {3rd Party}<\/li>\n<li>Assign rights &amp; access to faculty<\/li>\n<li>Check User performance and\u00a0Create Courses<\/li>\n<li>Add\/Edit\/Upload\/Delete [Content, Study Material, Videos]<\/li>\n<li>Manage Online Sessions Schedule [Country Wise time]<\/li>\n<li>Manage Articles &amp; Blogs<\/li>\n<li>Update &amp; Manage [Course, Training &amp; Certification Details]<\/li>\n<li>Manage Course Batch Slots<\/li>\n<li>Manage Feedback, Reviews &amp; Ratings<\/li>\n<li>Update Notifications [Webinars, Courses, Classes, Events, News &amp; Daily Updates]<\/li>\n<li>Manage Subscription Plans,\u00a0Payment System\n<ul>\n<li>Manage Payment,\u00a0Check Payment Details (By Students Subscription),\u00a0Manage Payment as per Country Currency,\u00a0Check Payment Status,\u00a0Check Earning Status and\u00a0Manage Salaries of Faculty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Check &amp; Manage Test Function<\/li>\n<li>Real-Time Notification Alerts,\u00a0Live Chat,\u00a0Social Media Connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Manage Calendar Function and\u00a0Batch Slots<\/li>\n<li>Check Total No. of users [Faculty &amp; Students (Total &amp; Asper services)]<\/li>\n<li>Create &amp; Manage Study Materials<\/li>\n<li>Manage Task &amp; Appointments<\/li>\n<li>Messaging System [Student &amp; Faculty]<\/li>\n<li>Keep Track of [Online Sessions, Classes, Training, Certification Programmes]<\/li>\n<li>Manage &amp; Update Policies and Terms &amp; Conditions<\/li>\n<li>Help &amp; Support System<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Cost To Develop An eLearning Mobile App:<\/h2>\n<h3>The Features, Perks along with the Total Investment<\/h3>\n<p>It is now clear that an eLearning mobile app has to be inclusive of the above-mentioned features. The 4 modules will form the basic structure. So, you might be wondering,\u00a0<em>\u201cHow much will all of that cost?<\/em>\u201c. We\u2019ll make it clear for you. Firstly, the time taken for the development of any mobile app and the cost will depend on a number of factors. Hence, it\u2019s difficult to summarise in one article.<\/p>\n<p>We can shortlist the components that affect pricing. Based on that, it would be easier for you to get an estimate. Whenever a client approaches us for the development of an LMS (Learning Management System) app, we tell them about our basic pricing plans. It includes the Web Design, Wireframe, Invison App, Project Management Tool, Architecture Document and Database Management.<\/p>\n<div>The total investment will depend on the scope of the application. However, for the above-mentioned features\u2019 list, the initial investment would start with 13 Lakh + Taxes (for PHP, Codeigniter) and 20 Lakh + Taxes (for Angular, Node). Also, we would recommend, PHP because of SEO benefits. However, there is no performance difference between both.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In addition, you\u2019ll be handed over a complete product with end to end Testing, Security Compliances, Performance and Code Quality Test. We at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/engineerbabu.com\/\">EngineerBabu<\/a>\u00a0offer our clients with 3 months of free post-development support. The eLearning mobile app will have the handling capabilities for 1 Million users.\u00a0We will also look after the Server Setup &amp; Deployment, Notifications Management and make it Future proof.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>To Sum Up\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>Before you choose to go for an eLearning mobile app, make sure that you\u2019ve properly researched and analysed your market. The application will have to be different than all the others that exist in the market. For instance, EngineerBabu has worked with numerous clients from the same domain including\u00a0WitCircle,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uskill.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uskill<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/engineerbabu.com\/blog\/education-finder-one-stop-shop-aspiring-students-make-informed-choice\/\">Education Finder<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atmc.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ATMC University<\/a>\u2018s Mobile App. All of these were very different from each other.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been building awesome scalable products for startups and enterprises since 2014.\u00a0Take a look at our extended\u00a0portfolio here.
