Video Conferencing in ProgKids: An Innovative Solution for Education

ProgKids continuously improves its educational platform by providing users with modern and effective tools for online learning. Among our recent significant advancements is the development of a video conferencing module aimed at enhancing the educational process and boosting interactivity.

The primary goal of developing the video conferencing module for the ProgKids platform was to create an in-house system that offers comprehensive functionality for user video communication. Additional objectives included integrating interactive tools, machine learning methods to analyze behavioral patterns, and implementing systems for video and audio recognition.

The benefits of having a proprietary video conferencing system are clear. This system addresses the shortcomings of using third-party applications, such as the need for additional authorization, lack of access to user interaction statistics, inability or high cost of video recording, and session time limitations.

Key features of the system include:

  • User-friendly Authorization: Built on an existing basic system, ensuring seamless login for users.

  • Roles and Permissions: Definitions for user roles and access levels ensure a secure and organized environment.

  • Audio and Video Integration: Includes displaying audio from participants' microphones and video from their cameras.

  • Settings Window: Users can easily change microphone, camera, and audio output devices within the application.

  • In-Session Chat: A chat feature for participants to communicate during the conference.

  • Screen Drawing: Participants can draw on the screen during presentations, making the lessons more interactive.

  • Recording Capability: Automatic recording of video and audio during conferences, with recordings saved directly to the server.

  • Machine Learning Methods: Utilizes machine learning methods to analyze video recordings for better understanding and improvement of educational patterns.

  • Administrative Panel: Comprehensive admin tools for managing and overseeing the system.

  • Scalability: The system supports up to 50 concurrent users, enabling up to 25 lessons per hour.

  • High-Quality Video: For users with internet speeds over 10 Mbps, video quality is in HD format (720p), with automatic adjustments to ensure smooth playback in lower bandwidth conditions.

The innovative video conferencing system in ProgKids represents a significant step forward in online education. It enhances interaction between students and teachers, ensures a high level of personalized learning, and makes the educational process more interactive and engaging. These achievements underscore the company's commitment to implementing cutting-edge technologies and improving the educational experience.
