Platform Redevelopment and Feature Improvement for Literacy Nonprofit

Our team prioritized stabilizing session functionality and maintaining a reliable production environment during the initial weeks of the project to ensure a smooth product launch. This involved addressing key platform features such as video performance, wide-format books, Student Read-Aloud (SRA), Teacher Read-Aloud (TRA), and other critical fixes.

Key improvements included:

• Video Stabilization: Resolved issues that prevented students and tutors from seeing each other's video tiles, ensuring seamless interaction during sessions.
• Student Read Aloud (SRA) Functionality: Enhanced the visibility and accessibility of SRA books, allowing smooth transitions between reading modes, thereby supporting better engagement.
• Wide-format Books Stabilization: Improved rendering of wide-format book content to fit designated areas, alongside establishing separate styles for better clarity.
• Tutor Read Aloud (TRA) Enhancements: Enabled tutors to navigate books effortlessly during sessions, improving the overall tutoring experience.
• User Session Management: Implemented automatic logout after one hour of inactivity to enhance security and protect user data.

Our team also addressed critical backend issues that hindered platform performance, including:

• Improvements for homepage display issues and session loading constraints
• Optimizations to enhance data retrieval and integrity
• Later in the project, DataArt expanded accessibility and functionality by introducing several new features, such as a magnification tool, wide book compatibility, iPad support, and interactive capabilities. These enhancements boosted student engagement, leading to improved tutor retention and greater student satisfaction.
