Challenge

The Cogniteq team was approached by a startup with the idea of developing an e-learning platform. The company intended to offer both individual educators and organizations an easy way to set up virtual classrooms for learning, corporate training, etc. The project's uniqueness lay in the fact that, at the time of development, it was the only platform for online courses that provided the possibility of live video broadcasts.

The product was supposed to be an e-learning platform with a subscription system for a broad audience. It could be used by organizations for staff training, by universities and schools for distance learning, or by individual teachers to host authentic courses.

Our experts underwent several rigorous stages of technical interviews before joining our team. Their deep expertise in developing educational applications, combined with strong and versatile technical skills, enabled us to successfully support the client in achieving their strategic goals.

We were entrusted with the full-cycle development of a comprehensive solution — creating a modern, user-friendly web application alongside fully functional mobile apps for both Android and iOS platforms, all built from the ground up.

Solution

Cogniteq experts developed a lecture builder application where courses are presented like slide decks (similar to PowerPoint) with the ability to embed various media files.

The technical specifics of the project involved the development of the app server. The backend was fully hosted in the cloud. While it's common to use multiple cloud providers when building an app server, in this case, all data and services were hosted exclusively on Amazon Web Services, which was quite unusual.

As a result, creating a unified ecosystem was one of the most challenging aspects of the project. We worked with about 30 different cloud services and had to carefully design the system to ensure their stable and simultaneous operation.

The app’s functionality allows users to:

  • Conduct live broadcasts in real time with chat-based feedback and seamless video integration.
  • Consolidate a company’s educational content on a single platform or in an online archive.
  • Use a multifunctional CMS with a customizable content library.
  • Assess students' knowledge and manage certification processes.

To enhance the user experience during replays, we implemented a feature that syncs comments with the video timeline, making them visible when rewatching the stream.
