About the project
Hey Professor connects teachers and students, providing them with the required functionality for personalized educational sessions. It’s a trusted and qualified network of educators, which enables parents to easily find perfect teachers on different grade levels to arrange learning sessions for their kids. There are no contracts, so users pay only for the scheduled and conducted lessons.
As for roles in the system, Hey Professor provides several accounts for users: teacher, student, guardian/parent. Available functionality differs depending on the role, and therefore, permissions in the system. For instance, elementary school students can’t configure the environment and only join the lessons, the conditions of which are defined by their parents.
Built upon a safe and secure online environment, Hey Professor involves SSL encoding, modern encryption methods applied for data, and the protection of personal information from third parties.
In addition, the CyberCraft team implemented the payment integration, so that parents can pay for the lessons without the risk of personal data leaks. Another active security feature is the verification of teachers who want to join the platform: Hey Professor connects with the third-party service to check the existence of any fines or a criminal record.
Challenges that was faced and overcame
Technologies used
Our experienced engineers employ the latest technologies, frameworks, and components to create solution that combine a strong easy-to-use modern design with high performance.
Our Team
Value delivered
Our team has successfully developed website architecture and implemented an e-learning platform with different roles for users. We ensure quick time-to-market by crafting an e-learning MVP in 3 months.
As a result, Hey Professor can address the problem related to distance education. It helps parents to find competent teachers and spend less time doing homework with their children.
The system represents an MVP, which can be expanded and enhanced in the future, though it already includes the following core functionalities:
- Holding video sessions via the platform;
- Communication through an internal chat;
- Built-in payment via PayPal or banking card;
- Management of child accounts on the part of parents;
- The floating price for the lessons set by teachers.
Hey Professor overcomes similar platforms in terms of flexibility, pay efficiency, and performance. The e-learning platform is fully covered by automation and manual tests and ready to use after the MVP stage.
Our team also implemented DDoS attack protection and mitigation, blocking traffic from malicious bots with the help of Google captcha and Rack middleware for blocking & throttling abusive requests.
