Project overview

Situation: The challenge was to create a robust and engaging online dance learning platform that could replicate the experience of a physical dance academy. The goal was to provide a seamless, interactive, and user-friendly interface that would allow users to learn dance at their own pace, with features that enhance the learning experience and ensure user satisfaction.

What I Did

  • Led the technical team to develop and implement Student Engagement Features.
  • Introduced agile working methodologies across the development and marketing teams.
  • Implemented AWS Services for content encryption and transcoding
  • Developed Key Features:
    • Mirror Screen: Enabled users to see themselves alongside the instructor on the same screen, making it easier to follow dance moves.
    • See Yourself: Utilized the device’s webcam to display the user’s image on the screen for visual feedback and self-correction.
    • Speed Control: Allowed users to adjust the playback speed of tutorials, accommodating different learning paces.

Results

  • 20% increase in user video watch time duration.
  • 15% reduction in time-to-market for new features and campaigns.
  • 12% improvement in average watch duration due to enhanced streaming quality.
