OVERVIEW

Our client approached us to develop a platform that would enable students to connect with tutors online and provide 1 on 1 tutoring. DreamzTech engaged the Onshore/offshore team to elicit, document and plan the project. We developed this platform to automate background checks for tutors registering. Only successful background check tutors are eligible for tutoring. We also implemented a seamless payment channel for students to pay for their schedules along with any tips as well. We also enabled tutors to submit their academic and identity documents which are stored securely. This platform enables tutors to set up their bank accounts and verify for scheduled weekly payouts or manually whenever they want. We used Video / Audio enabled collaborative Whiteboard to be shared between tutor and student to effective learning. DreamzTech completed this project on schedule and the platform is going towards a major success in its domain.

GOALS

  • Unification of data
    received
    from all equipment onto a single platform and automated interpretation.
  • Registering a sample for
    each
    machine with upper and lower reading limits so that alerts can be generated in case
    of
    abrupt fluctuations.
  • Process data and represent
    in
    the form of animated graphs and charts wherever possible for instant decision
    making.
  • Using Industrial IoT to
    monitor equipment health and provide scheduled maintenance, proactive and preventive
    maintenance.
  • Platform to view the
    current
    status of a machine and the ability to view its breakdown history.
  • The solution also provided
    the
    option to control machines from a user interface using PLC/SCADA and IoT.

Facing Business Problems

  • To have the platform where students/parents can register for an online 1 – 1 class with a tutor.
  • Registered tutors should have their background checked and documents verified for tutoring sessions.
  • To have a video and audio enabled whiteboard sharing sessions between student and tutor.
  • To have a seamless payment option for students and tutors for payments and payouts.
  • The platform should allow students to search and filter for tutors and schedule a session from their availability calendar.

SOLUTIONS WE PROVIDED

  • We created the platform which allowed students to book a session for 1 – 1 online or in-person learning sessions.
  • We integrated with 3rd party tools that allowed tutors to provide relevant information for automated background checks and provide feedback for Criminal Records, Sex Offender Registry and Federal Criminal Records in the US.
  • We provided the solution by doing API integration with a tool to provide video conferencing with shared whiteboards strictly private between student and tutor for the booked session only.
  • We integrated with Stripe which allowed students to add credit cards for making payment after a session and allowed tutors to set up their payout account for manual/automated weekly payments directly to their bank account.
  • The platform enabled students to search for tutors by their subject, location, gender preference, and availability on the calendar. We did integration with Twilio for sending email and SMS alerts to students and tutors.
