Interactive Page Design Architecture for Teacher Engagement Platform

This project focuses on designing an interactive page architecture for the Beyond Teaching platform, a crowdsourcing platform for educators. The goal is to create an engagement model that keeps teachers active, reduces drop-out rates, and facilitates communication. The project includes a detailed analysis of client requirements, stakeholder analysis, and a literature review of similar projects like Coursera, Stack Overflow, and Questpond. The student explores various engagement strategies, including social learning and personal learning networks, to address the need for modern learning environments. The project aims to leverage IT solutions to optimize business processes and enhance user engagement, ultimately helping the company communicate with teachers during periods without large projects. The project also defines employee engagement within the context of Beyond Teaching, emphasizing the importance of keeping teachers connected and involved throughout the year. The project seeks to design an interactive page that fosters community and supports continuous professional development for teachers.

Project Background
Beyond teaching is a leading crowdsourcing platform that is associated with education
sector. The company has over 500k subscribers and over 200 corporates associations and very
high college associations. The corporates give various jobs to the beyond teaching and as a
crowd sourcing platform the teachers and members bids for the completion of these jobs. Beyond
teaching reaches to a large number of teachers and associates with them for various project work.
It is like a freelancing site only for teachers focused on only one genre. This project focused on
creating an interactive page design so that teachers all around the world can be engaged by
sending them various projects to learn, tasks, videos, questionnaire, mailers, surveys etc. This
project will help to devise a solution for the company by reducing drop out, keeping customers
active on the platform.
Detailed analysis of client requirements
Main requirement of the client
The client of this project is mainly looking for possible engagement models/methods
using which they can keep the teachers engaged. The company intends to build an engagement
platform on the website where company can also communicate to teachers and teachers benefit
from such engagement. The company is looking to leverage IT solution which might help with
the case. The client requires the project team to investigate for optimizing the business processes
and investigation of strategies to keep users engaged. In this project, feasibility study will be
conducted on the engagement model in context to the Beyond teaching platform. The main
requirement of the client is to design an interactive page in their platform so that the company
can communicate with the teachers while there are no big projects and keep them engaged with

the company. The interactive page will also help the teachers to communicate with other teachers
all around the world.
Social learning enables accentuation to be set on true associations amongst individuals
and the learning procedure. In this manner, instructors can build up their learning and
information obtaining through web-based social networking devices. Such instruments can make
more elevated amounts of social learning given the speedier and more extensive access to
individuals and assets. Subsequently, instructor learning can happen anyplace, whenever,
upsetting their present information systems (Pallud & Straub, 2014). With constant, customized
and self-governing learning, punctuated by social learning techniques, instructors progress
toward becoming deep rooted students who are side by side of changes happening in the training
domain and know how to apply these progressions to their present settings. Exceedingly viable
instructors are effectively ready to break down expanding measures of data, and model
information procurement, numerous educators are doing this through the advancement of
Professional Learning Networks, or all the more regularly alluded to as a Personal Learning
Network (PLN).
A huge component of a viable PLN is that it is customized, educators learning specialists,
decide their own needs and objectives and utilize their associations and systems to secure data
and build up their insight. As instructors attempt to make and participate in a PLN they
persistently put forth these inquiries with a specific end goal to customize their insight
development (Lalmas, O'Brien & Yom-Tov, 2014). Another basic point in assessing the
requirement for instructors to end up plainly present day learning laborers for the 21st century is
the possibility that information specialists want diverse workplaces. They are aspiring and long
for self-administration; they need to have self-rule. At the point when instructors take control

over their own particular learning through building up a PLN, this self-governance in what they
need to realize and how they need to learn winds up plainly clear. Through this adaptable and
self-ruling learning, they are creating higher aptitudes, utilizing and constructing information and
proceeding with self-advancement. Imperatively, the creator accentuates that educator self-
governance, through consistent long lasting adapting should be an ability rehearsed and aced
before applying comparative ideas with understudies (Elston & Gowen, 2014). The
accompanying picture successfully represents normal devices and plan components of viable
PLNs.

A Case study of Coursera
Coursera trusts in associating individuals to an incredible training so anybody around the
globe can learn unbounded. Coursera is an instruction organization that accomplices with the
best colleges and associations on the planet to offer courses online for anybody to take, for
nothing. Their innovation empowers their accomplices to show a huge number of understudies as
opposed to hundreds. Coursera imagines a future where everybody approaches a world-class
instruction, which up until this point, has just been accessible to a chosen few (Montgomery,
2017). They mean to engage individuals with instruction that will enhance their lives, the lives of
their families, and the groups they live in.
Having a code base that was basically PHP-based turned out at first to be a decent
technique for Coursera in light of the fact that their courses and applications could be produced
and conveyed rapidly. As time advanced, nonetheless, a developing client base of more than 6.3
million understudies, a list of more than 568 distinct courses and a rapidly extending
improvement group, started to feature PHP's shortcomings, and it began to wind up noticeably
obvious that it wouldn't fill in as a long haul improvement stage (Lalmas, O'Brien & Yom-Tov,
2014). The group, drove by Brennan Saeta, chose the time had come to begin searching for
options that met both the physical and designer versatility needs anticipated in Coursera's future.
The Typesafe Reactive Platform track was continuing all the more effectively. The
segments used in the assessment were Play Web Framework and the Scala programming dialect

7INTERACTIVE PAGE DESIGN ARCHITECTURE
to give specialized equality between the assessments. Play Framework depends on a lightweight,
stateless, web-accommodating engineering that highlights unsurprising and insignificant asset
utilization for profoundly adaptable applications. Scala is universally useful programming dialect
intended to express regular programming designs in a brief, rich, and sort safe way. It easily
coordinates highlights of question situated and useful dialects, empowering Java and different
software engineers to be more gainful (Senbergs & Kirikova, 2016). At first, there was faltering
around Scala. It was seen as "another" dialect that would be troublesome for designers to get up
to speed on. Also, the group was wary about the development of Play. The assessment put the
two worries to rest. Brennan Saeta, a Software Engineer on the group, had been using the two
advances for about two years. He could show the power of Play and simplicity of Scala by
rapidly conveying Coursera's first Play application in May of 2012. This single application
demonstrated such esteem and specialized footing inside Coursera that every single new
administration in Coursera's administration arranged design are composed on the Typesafe
Reactive Platform subsequently. The group has assembled tooling around Play so it's anything
but difficult to utilize and works consistently inside the Coursera condition.
A Case study of Stack overflow
Question replying (Q&A) sites are currently vast archives of profitable learning. While
most Q&A locales were at first went for giving helpful responses to the inquiry asker, there has
been a stamped move towards question replying as a group driven information creation process
whose finished result can be of continuing incentive to a wide crowd (Lagun & Lalmas, 2016).
As a feature of this move, particular aptitude and profound information of the current subject
have turned out to be progressively imperative, and numerous Q&A locales utilize voting and
notoriety systems as centerpieces of their outline to enable clients to distinguish the reliability

and exactness of the substance. To better comprehend this move in center from one-off responses
to a gathering information creation process, an inquiry is viewed as together with its whole
arrangement of comparing answers as our key unit of examination, interestingly with the
emphasis on singular inquiry answer combines that described past work. Our examination
considers the progression of the group movement that shapes the arrangement of answers, both
how answers and voters land after some time and how this impacts the inevitable result (Chen et
al., 2013). For instance, noteworthy interruptions have been seen in the notorieties of co-
answerers, connections amongst notoriety and answer speed, and that the likelihood of an answer
being picked as the best one unequivocally relies upon fleeting attributes of answer entries. Such
properties is normally relevant to anticipating a few vital amounts, including the long haul
estimation of the inquiry and its answers, and in addition whether an inquiry requires a superior
answer.
A Case study on Questpond
More profound engagement procedures may require some culture shifts, both from
funders and from instructors. Some of these movements concern changes in power and control,
and surrendering either is regularly the hardest piece of culture change. One master noticed that
establishments have commonly worked in an extremely top-down way, and need to participate in
self-evaluation in the matter of why this has not worked. Funders should surrender some control
if instructors are more included, and should hear scrutinizes of their thoughts (Gourley et al.,
2016). The courses in which funders connect with instructors significantly relies upon the results
funders try to accomplish and the part educators will play in these activities. Funders ought to
consider a few variables while drawing in educators, especially, the boundaries that may hinder
bona fide instructor interest and purchase in.

The tenets of engagement are basic. Educators more than once voiced their requirement
for regard to be regarded for their expert aptitude and learning, especially their insight into what
works for understudies. They were additionally extremely vocal about the requirement for
funders to comprehend and value the time limitations they confront because of their school plans
(Cebi, 2013). Since educators invest significant energy in getting ready and arranging astute
learning encounters for their understudies, they have a low resistance for exercises that appear
like an exercise in futility, or seem, by all accounts, to be going no place. A great part of crafted
by a decent educator engagement, at that point, is tied in with supporting attentive and
intentional collegial associations that prompt better arrangements that would not be
accomplished without engagement.
Definition of Employee engagement
In this context to the project for Beyond Teaching, employee engagement means
engaging the teachers throughout the year when there are no projects. Characterizing
representative engagement is no simple errand. There are various originations of engagement,
and various comparative ideas, for example, duty, representative strengthening, hierarchical
citizenship conduct, and inspiration (Gourley et al., 2016). In spite of the fact that there might be
unpretentious contrasts between the ideas of work engagement, work engagement, and
representative engagement, for the motivations behind this report these ideas will be generally
used as comparative thoughts. It is reasonably as of late that the term worker engagement has
come into famous use in the administration counseling writing and the scholastic writing. In the
surviving scholastic writing, different definitions exist of representative engagement.
Notwithstanding, despite the fact that the definition and importance of engagement in the expert
writing regularly covers with different develops, in the scholarly writing it has been

10INTERACTIVE PAGE DESIGN ARCHITECTURE
characterized as a particular and one of a kind build that comprises of intellectual, passionate,
and behavioral segments that are related with singular part execution (Lalmas, O'Brien & Yom-
Tov, 2014).
A case of a model that consolidates the mental state and the behavioral point of view is
the "X Model of Employee Engagement." This is a lattice show in which representative
commitment and worker fulfillment are the key measures (Lagun & Lalmas, 2016). This model
characterizes drew in representatives as those workers who have elevated amounts of worker
commitment and individual fulfillment. Different representatives are ordered into the
accompanying designs along these two tomahawks: low commitment/high fulfillment =
‘hamsters'; high commitment/low fulfillment = 'crash and burners'; low commitment/low
fulfillment = 'withdrew'. The issue for associations in deciding worker engagement from this
model is the trouble in building up inward mental conditions of representatives (Ibrahim, Wang
& Bourne, 2017). That is, the "crash and burners" may show up as connected with
representatives if the association does not have a solid method for gaging the interior mental
conditions of workers.
Importance of Employee Engagement
The idea of representative engagement is a moderately late expansion to the zone of
human asset hypothesis and authoritative conduct. Enthusiasm for the brain science of workers
has been a component of research, estimating, and strategy since the mid twentieth century.
Various hypotheses of inspiration have been produced as a major aspect of the human asset
development in association science (Senbergs & Kirikova, 2016). Thus, there are various
hypothetical points of view on the psychosocial encounters of representatives that have
endeavored to clarify how a few representatives draw in with work and can add to hierarchical

11INTERACTIVE PAGE DESIGN ARCHITECTURE
objectives in huge ways, the most recent cycle of this line of hypothesizing in "worker
engagement." Employee engagement has a few rivals in examine circles these will be featured
later in this report. Worker engagement, nonetheless, seems to have a moderately powerful
research group adding to contemporary estimating. It is based to a great extent in the mental
sciences and especially association and mechanical brain science (Chokrasamesiri & Senivongse,
2016). There is additionally a critical assemblage of research that explores worker engagement in
schools and educational systems, with a conspicuous examining inclination toward instructor
gatherings.
Rather than conventional hierarchical structures that vigorously depend on administration
control and monetary standards of cost diminishment, effectiveness, and income, the concentrate
in present day associations is on the administration of human capital. Right now, associations
anticipate that their representatives will be proactive and indicate activity, work together easily
with others, assume liability for their own particular expert improvement, and to be focused on
brilliant execution measures (Lagun & Lalmas, 2016). Consequently representatives are required
who feel vigorous and devoted, and who are consumed by their work. As such, associations
require connected with specialists.
Limitations and Delimitations of Employee engagement
One of the essential limitations on this work is the idea of the examination accessible on
representative engagement for the most part in instructive settings. Specifically, two difficulties
emerge: 1) the generally powerful research on worker engagement in instructive settings tends to
benefit educator representative gatherings. Frequently this "educator engagement" inquire about
takes a gander at academic practice, understudy issues, and classroom level elements. The
writing on educator engagement is just incompletely accommodating in this regard. The writing
