You want to educate the world, we want to help you do that. Before you start building your e-learning app, let's have a look at what kind of educational platform you can build.

If you have an app idea like Duolingo and want to build one, we're there to help you.

Certification platform: Do you want to help universities sell their online courses and certifications online? Start building your own certification platform like Coursera, without writing code. It's easy, fast and cost-effective to build a certification platform with us.

Live classes app: Are you an educator running a university, a college, or a school and want to get your online education app having the facility to team your students online – and not a recorded session? Hundreds of universities and academies have shifted their offline education system to an online one, with the help of technology. Now, it's your turn to build a platform to teach your students online.

Some e-learning platforms are extremely useful, practical, easy to use, lovable and have millions in their user base, while others are frustrating, boring, or very nearly useless. It's because of their UI/UX and the way they solve the problems for their users. User interface (UI) is how they interact with you through screens, user experience (UX) is how they feel about all interactions with your e-Learning platform. Your app features play an important role in user experience, which leads to success or failure of your e-learning application. Before you start building your app, let's look at some of the must-have features for mobile learning apps. 

• Easy to use search bar: Let users find the content of your app that they’re looking for just by putting that search term in the search bar. It’s an essential feature and we can’t even imagine an online learning experience without a search bar.
• Filters: These are the backbone of a content discovery puzzle that allows users to narrow down a huge set of results through a series of filters – area, ratings, price, or course provider, could be some of them. 
• Categories: Your app categories are basically a way to divide up your content on your application. Letting your users navigate through different content segments on your app. Content categorised in a helpful manner increases visibility, attracts quality traffic, and, consequently, improves your conversion rates.
• Easy sign-up: Less friction means higher app signups. One-tap-sign-up lets your user get in using their existing Gmail account, Facebook login or Linkedin. It's a common feature and becoming new normal in app development. 
• Review & ratings: Let your app users review the content as it’ll help you to improve your content quality. It also means potential users can make a wise decision by reading user reviews.
• Seamless checkout: No business can survive without monetising their app traffic and to monetise the app you need to have multi-mode payment options for a seamless checkout.
• Gamification features: make the learning process more fun and you'll appeal to a wider audience. You'll increase student's level of motivation and speed up the learning process too. Everyone wins! 
• Offline learning: What if your real users have issues with internet access? Make it easy for your target audience to learn anywhere. Offer educational materials that they can download and work on even without an internet connection.
