School Lab is a progressive concept of study platform developed to enrich the process of learning as well as to eliminate barriers in the interaction between teachers and learners. Teachers can use the platform to assign work, review submissions and assess work of learners in an effective manner. For students, it offers a platform where they can submit their work and obtain performance evaluation results.
The key focus in the development of the School Lab project was to create a web-based tool that would support the process of involving students in assignments. The platform is to facilitate communication and interaction between teachers and students guaranteeing efficient handling of educational assignments.
To achieve the project objectives, we implemented the following solutions:
Front-End Development: We used React.js to make our GUI application responsive and interactive. This made it possible to create a consistent experience for the users across the devices and screens.
Back-End Development: The backend was developed using Symfony 4 which is a best solution for handling complex interaction and data processing.
Throughout the development process, we encountered several challenges:
This was due to the need for a separate database per school in the School Lab project, which was crucial for effective database management. We had to establish logic to execute programs intending to work with multiple instances of the database at once.
This has been realised by appropriately designing the architecture in Symfony 4 to enable a switch between contexts as necessary given user input.
Thus, we created a specialised module that helped the automated system track internships of students and test their knowledge using different questionnaires.
This meant logical complexities regarding how to manage various forms of feedback and results data gathering; which, we were able to logically retrieve and incorporate, guaranteeing the smooth and informative nature of the module.
In assessing the effects of School Lab, the one found to improve most in interaction was that between the learner and the teacher. Key outcomes included:
Enhanced Communication: Teachers were also able to effectively post and supervise the tasks given, and on the other hand students were equally able to post their work and get feedback easily.
Progress Tracking: “With regard to communication, both students and teachers using the School Lab platform could easily track performance records, hence there was increased understanding in the areas of strength, weaknesses and development needs.
User Engagement: From this type of interface much closer and fuller students’ engagement with the content is achieved due to interaction with the UI.
The concept of SchoolLab satisfied the needs of schools, colleges, and institutions with the help of an innovative and effective virtual learning environment. Thus, perusing over the challenges of managing the key database and developing an additional focused internship tracking module, we provided a solution that fosters cooperation and strengthens the learning process for both teachers and students.
We developed the platform using Symfony and React.js for a fast, dynamic, and scalable user experience.
