Education has always mattered as one of the most important industries. According to Moore’s law, every new technology invention grows exponentially every two years. Thus as a result, education industry also has more opportunities to establish better connection between tutors and learners. With the ability to provide quick access to information, the teaching process has become more cost-effective through an eLearning app. Nowadays, cost to develop an elearning app is often a hot topic for mobile app development companies and clients. The competition between people today is higher due to increase in the opportunities and thus students look for ways to learn better globally. This has increased the need for eLearning app solutions.Â
According to Statista, Education industry has been spending around USD 90 billion to develop the eLearning market globally. It is expected that by 2024, the expenditure would increase to more than USD 120 billion. Hence, the education industry is grabbing opportunities, globally, to provide education to everyone without any discrimination via the eLearning app.Â
As per e-Front Learning, it takes about one week by a full-time employee to develop just one screen of a mobile application. This development includes planning, testing and deployment at every development stage of every single screen. Licensing a developer costs around USD 100. If you use an authorized tool for development, the cost increases to USD 1000. Developing an eLearning app approximately costs around USD 8000 to USD 50000. This article discusses about the cost of eLearning iOS app development and cost of eLearning android app development.Â
Before getting into the important and external features, let us first see the basic features that make-up the cost incurred in developing an eLearning app.Â
The student and the user/customer must be able to rate their tutorial program they have subscribed to. They must also be able to rate and review your eLearning app on play store /app store. This helps in cultivating customer loyalty from new users and existing customers.Â
Users such as students, tutors, administration and parents should be able to create a profile for themselves with necessary demographic information. The profile creation should contain categories that differentiate existing and newly created profiles between tutors, students and parents.
Treating each user profile as an individual by differentiating profiles between students, tutors and parents is important. This is because it will help the convenient tracking of user data for better improvement of the eLearning app.  Â
Tutors should be able to connect with their students easily. Further, they should be able to access the assignments, projects and homework given to them. Thus, students and tutors both should be able to use camera features through your eLearning app to take a photograph of the assignment for submission or doubts clarification.Â
Develop a feature which tutors can use to connect with parents of their students. This will help tutors to stay informed of their pupil’s progress and also provide feedback to parents about their kid’s performance. Also, provide a possibility for the parents to provide feedback to enhance and improve the tutor’s teaching methodologies.Â
Tutors, students and parents should be able to connect with each other without any time or day discrimination. For any query, doubt clarification and teaching, all users must be able to reach the necessary person through in-app voice calls, video conferences, text, etc.Â
Add further value by developing multiple payment features that students and parents can use for subscribing to different learning packages.These payment options include, debit cards, credit cards, digital wallets, etc. To make it unique also develop payments through a Barcode or QR code to make the payment process much quicker and simpler.Â
