Online Degree and Diploma

Client Requirements

Online Degree and Diploma approached me to design and develop a comprehensive online platform that would provide a seamless experience for students enrolling in degree and diploma programs. The key requirements were:

1. Comprehensive Course Catalog:

   • The client required a well-structured course catalog, with a user-friendly layout to showcase the available degree and diploma programs. Each program needed to clearly display eligibility criteria, course duration, and relevant details to aid prospective students in making informed decisions.

2. Accreditation Display:

   • The platform had to prominently showcase the institution’s credibility, specifically the UGC (University Grants Commission) and AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) accreditations, which would increase trust and reliability for users.

3. Interactive Learning Environment:

   • The platform needed to incorporate features like live lectures, discussion forums, and a chat system, enabling students to engage with faculty, peers, and guest speakers. Additionally, over 400+ hours of pre-recorded content had to be accessible for self-paced learning.

4. Mobile Accessibility:

   • As the platform is for distance learning, it was essential that students could access content from anywhere, on any device. The website needed to be fully responsive and user-friendly on mobile, tablets, and desktops.

5. Online Examinations and Flexible Scheduling:

   • The client requested a secure, proctored online examination system. Students should be able to select their own exam dates through a flexible date sheet feature, ensuring convenience in scheduling their exams.

6. Placement Support & Career Enhancement:

   • Highlighting robust placement support was crucial. The website needed a dedicated section for Professional Enhancement Programs (PEP) and career support, allowing students to understand how the institution assists in their post-graduation employment.

7. Master Classes and Guest Lectures:

   • To differentiate the platform, the client wanted to offer master classes and guest lectures from industry experts. The requirement was to develop a section that displayed upcoming guest speaker sessions and recorded content from previous lectures.
