Online education app development is one of the most promising sectors on the edge of success in the midst of this epidemic.

Why is online education so popular? The Top Ten Reasons

Since last year, e-learning has been on the rise. The present global COVID shutdown has only boosted its popularity and high demand. Do you want to know why teachers and students favor online education?

Here are a few factors to think about:

1. Online video tutoring

The education business has been entirely shut down and is presently on hold owing to the ongoing epidemic. Many educational institutions are making use of the digital medium. Teachers have been instructed to begin video tutoring for children. Video tutoring is the most effective technique to teach children while they are at home. They may continue their education and learn quickly by using a smartphone.

2. Physical Classroom-like Features: Chalkboard

Many coaching institutes place a premium on developing a feature-rich e-Learning app that incorporates functionalities such as whiteboard integration for online video coaching sessions, simple payment methods that allow students to pay their coaching fees online, easy communication with subject-matter experts, and so on.

3. Remote Online Classes:

The instructor may build an online room and invite their students to join the room for online class using a feature-rich mobile app. The teacher can provide online courses and restart studies on a daily basis after the students check in and enter the room with a code. In the middle of the corona epidemic, these remote classrooms are regarded as one of the most efficient digital learning methods.

4. Homework & Assignments Online:

Not only can teachers use the app to lecture, but they can also provide homework and assignments to their students. Once finished, assignments may be submitted straight through the app.

5. Discussion in groups:

Group discussions with students, instructors, and parents are possible with the education app. The group chat features facilitate communication between students and instructors, as well as between teachers and parents. While students can ask questions in the group, teachers can make announcements about anything. Parents can inquire about their children's performance and other questions regarding the resumption of school, homework, attendance, holidays, and so on.

6. Mock Exams and Education Quizzes:

A quiz in between studies may provide students with a break while also improving their knowledge. It's a great method to learn new stuff rapidly. Mock tests, on the other hand, are an excellent method of preparation. It's a type of preparation exam, meant to mimic the real thing and offer students a solid sense of what to anticipate in forthcoming tests and examinations.

7. Receive real-time notifications:

An education mobile app sends push notifications to students' phones in order to keep them informed about the time of online courses, exam schedules, PTM meetings, and other relevant announcements, among other things. The feature avoids the need to open the application repeatedly because you will be instantly alerted with the message shown on your homescreen.

8. Performance Report (Weekly/Daily)

The online daily/weekly/monthly report allows students, teachers, and parents to keep track of a student's performance. The report may be based on attendance, exam and quiz results, suggestions for improvement, and other activities.

9. Streaming of recorded video sessions online

An eLearning Application allows students to record a specific video session and review it at any time of day without missing class.

• Custom learning options are available.
