Virtual Learning Assistance for Students

Abstract

Virtual learning platforms are important for the future of education, especially during unprecedented times like the current covid-19 pandemic. Such learning platforms are expected to be interactive and help students communicate better with teachers and other students even virtually. This research work intends to develop a virtual learning platform in the form of a website that allows teachers to connect with students via individual and group video conferencing, create basic quizzes for the students, easily evaluate the quizzes and monitor student attendance. This website would also be useful for the students as it allows them to learn better by understanding answers for the graded quizzes. It also allows the students to view their obtained marks, check their attendance, have one-to-one video interaction with the teachers using a WEBRTC technique and Python Django framework, and, much more, all in a single platform. All the data are stored and manipulated in the MYSQL database. Thereby serving as a one-stop approach for every need of a student without having multiple websites and thereby creating a hassle out of it. The entire front end was developed entirely using web technologies like HTML, CSS, Javascript.
