An independent educational publisher needed a scalable learning platform that could support live classes, quizzes, recorded content, and integration with multiple institutional LMS platforms. Valuebound designed and developed a Drupal-based LMS with live video, interactive learning features, LTI integrations, and on-demand access to recorded classes.
The platform combined Drupal LMS development with Moodle interoperability, WebRTC-based video, real-time classroom tools, and automated course, user, and quiz synchronization. This gave educators and learners a unified experience across multiple learning environments.
To create a learning app that would work as a unified learning tool across LMS product
Our client, an American educational publishing house, is a dynamic provider of quality educational products and services.
The client wanted an application that would work for other existing LMS in the institutions serving higher education. The idea behind this project was that the universities/ colleges would use LIVE classrooms and quizzes provided through the unified platform rather than multiple tools available earlier.
The purpose is to cater to a larger market, especially in the present times where there has been a dramatic shift in the interaction between students and teachers across all levels of institutions during and post-pandemic.
Live Interactive Ed-Tech Solution Integrated with Enterprise LMS and Seamless Video Streaming Capability
We started the journey by collecting feedback from multiple business verticals, understanding their diverse needs, and content governance requirements. We built a live interactive ed-tech solution integrated with LMS and video streaming capability. It also has assistive learning capabilities like polling etc.
Once the LMS was built to suit the learning and access requirements of our client, we started integration with the LTI 1.3 standard. This was difficult to build as every LMS has a different structure, so we had to adopt an agile development approach. So, our team decided to build an LTI compliant bridge which could help connect all LMSs.
The application set out to be an out-of-the-box innovative solution for Ed-Tech companies to handle multiple aspects of online LIVE interactive learning.
The system then evolved into making teachers edtech operators who could not only teach the content but also share it with the students with archived data. This allows students access to classes like never before at their fingertips.
The tech stack changed drastically from being a custom enterprise LMS built on the Drupal CMS platform to a sophisticated WebRTC-based system that can integrate real-time audio-visual communication via the APIs. We used open-source libraries to develop group video applications and to handle broadcasting at a scale in real-time.
Valuebound built a Drupal-based learning platform that could connect with multiple institutional LMS environments through LTI and Moodle interoperability.
LTI-Compliant LMS Interoperability
The platform supported Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, and Desire2Learn integrations. Authentication, course creation, user provisioning, and quiz synchronization were automated through backend integrations.
Scalable Live Learning Infrastructure
The platform supported up to 500 concurrent learners in the same live class, with recorded content available after the session for on-demand learning.
Real-Time Assessment and Grading
Educators could use live quizzes, polls, attendance, classroom chat, presentation slides, notes, and grading workflows through the decoupled Drupal 8 live classroom platform.
Interactive Video and Classroom Features
WebRTC and API integrations enabled real-time audio, video, screen sharing, classroom status, and learner interaction within the unified experience.
Success Results
Valuebound delivered a scalable, interoperable Drupal learning platform that combined live video, LMS integrations, assessments, and recorded content in one experience.
- Supported up to 500 concurrent learners in one live class
- Enabled access for more than 2 million learners across the unified platform
- Processed up to 3,000 grades per minute
- Used across more than 250 learning centers worldwide
- Made recorded learning content available on demand
The solution helped the client reduce the operational burden of supporting older systems and focus more resources on product growth and new learning experiences.
