Scalability: Azure services allow the Learning Management System to scale up or down based on user traffic and data volume.
Security: It ensures secure user access and data protection with built-in features.
Maintainability: .NET and React are mature frameworks with large communities for easy maintenance and troubleshooting.
Cost-Effectiveness: Pay-as-you-go model of Azure services optimizes costs based on resource usage.
The Customer
The customer is a online educational portal that helps students and aspirants reach their career goals.
Challenges
The offline/ classroom classes and its batches were going good, unless covid pandemic hit on education sector and the institute decided to go online for uninteruptive classes. However, this required a cloud setup for all manual tasks.
The Objective
This project involved developing a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) to cater to a growing educational institution. The LMS provides features for:
User management (students, instructors)
Course creation and enrollment
Content delivery (lectures, assignments)
Online assessments and grading
Progress tracking and reporting
Future Ready Solution
The LMS provides a robust and scalable platform for online learning.
Users can access courses, submit assignments, and track progress seamlessly.
The cloud-based infrastructure ensures high availability and disaster recovery.
The institution benefits from cost-effective resource management with Azure.
Technology Stack
Backend: ASP.NET Core Web API built with C# on Azure App Service
Frontend: React application with Redux for state management
Database: Azure SQL Database
Cloud Storage: Azure Blob Storage for storing course materials
Authentication: Azure Active Directory (AAD) for secure user login
Azure App Service: Provides a scalable platform to host the .NET backend API.
Azure SQL Database: Managed SQL database service for storing user data, course information, and assessment results.
Azure Blob Storage: Cost-effective cloud storage for storing various course materials like videos, documents, and images.
Azure Active Directory (AAD): Secure user authentication and authorization for accessing the LMS.
