PURPOSE OF COOPERATION
Developing a clear and easy-to-use educational platform for creating and participating in business education courses.
THE CHALLENGE
It was a challenge to develop a solution that would allow users to comfortably acquire the knowledge they are interested in without having to leave home. At the same time, to design features that would give the application a competitive edge.
1. PROCESS
The main premise of this project was to develop a platform that would serve as a repository for business courses and all kinds of online learning materials. The role of the application was to enable users to use the available resources and learn the posted content. People using the application could purchase materials of interest by purchasing specific courses or using a subscription model.
We engaged 5 people to work on the course: 1 x Product Manager 1 x Frontend Developer, 2 x Backend Developers and 1 QA Specialist. Due to the provisions in the contract with the client, the project is NDA in scope.

Collaborating on this project made me realize how much potential there is in capturing knowledge online. Thanks to the work of the whole team we created an application that encouraged users to redeem content in their area of interest. The described solution allows not only simple consumption of educational materials, but also gives a wide range of possibilities when it comes to designing them.
2. THE FEATURES
ONE-TIME PAYMENT AND SUBSCRIPTION MODEL
The application’s business model was based on the ability to purchase individual courses or join them as part of a subscription, both through an integration with the Dotpay platform which supports a variety of payment methods.
ADVANCED BILLING MODEL
For the subscription model, we used an advanced billing model. Revenue was to be split between the platform and the content creator based on the watch time of posted lessons. The distribution of profits was based on how many subscription-paying users viewed content on the platform. Railwaymen’s role was to develop a solution that analyzed which pieces of educational material were viewed most often. Based on this information, appropriate remuneration was assigned to the creators. Thanks to time tracking, we had information about users’ engagement in course usage. We also introduced an option that indicated the percentage completion of each course.
COURSE EDITOR
Another feature included in the application was a simple course editor that allowed quick creation of educational materials based on available templates. Creators can upload custom descriptions, graphics, as well as visuals streamed through an integrated Vimeo player. This feature allowed creators to personalize content according to their preferences.
