In another embodiment of the present invention, the at least one of the registered students may provide the data by using a toll-free number of a company that may be provided on the education application 110. The data may be, but not limited to, a student location, a language preference, and so forth. The student location may comprise a Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) code, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Embodiments of the present invention are intended to include or otherwise cover any type of the data that may be required for offline education.
[0047] Further, the list generation module 214 may be configured to filter the second set of registration details of the registered teachers to generate a list of teachers. The list generation module 214 may be configured to generate the list of teachers located within a pre-defined distance from the student location, in an embodiment of the present invention. In an embodiment of the present invention, the list generation module 214 may be configured to generate the list of teachers provided the mode of teaching in the second set of requirements as the offline mode. The list generation module 214 may be configured to transmit the generated list of teachers along with contact details to the notification module 216.
[0048] The notification module 216 may be configured to generate a notification comprising the list of teachers along with the contact details. The notification module 216 may be configured to transmit the generated notification to the first computing device 104 of the at least one of the registered students through a communication means. The communication means may be, but not limited to, a Short Message Service (SMS), an electronic mail (e-mail), a pop-up, a text message, and alike. Embodiments of the present invention are intended to include or otherwise cover any type of the communication means, including known, related art, and/or later developed technologies. The notification module 216 may be configured to transmit the generated notification to the at least one of the registered students, so that the registered students may directly call the corresponding teachers to discuss about the offline classes.
[0049] Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the certificate generation module 218 configured to generate an appreciation certificate for the registered teachers after every pre-defined interval of time. The pre-defined interval of time may be, but not limited to, monthly, weekly, yearly, and so forth.The certification generation module 218 may be configured to transmit the generated appreciation certification to the output module 210. In an embodiment of the present invention, the output module 210 may be configured to display the generated appreciation certification on the user interface of the second computing device 106 of the corresponding teachers.
[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, the payment module 220 may be configured to enable the registered students to make a payment of the classes attended by the students in the online mode and/or the offline mode. The payment module 220 may be configured to enable the students to make the payment by selecting one of, a payment method provided by the corresponding teachers in the second set of registration details. The payment method may be, an offline payment method or an online payment method. The online payment method may be, but not limited to, a credit card payment, a debit card payment, an electronic wallet payment, and so forth. Embodiments of the present invention are intended to include or otherwise cover any type of the online payment method including known, related art, and/or later developed technologies. In another embodiment of the present invention, the payment module 220 may be configured to enable the registered teachers to receive the payment of each of the classes from the registered students. In such embodiment of the present invention, the payment module 220 may be configured to enable the registered teachers to receive a pre-defined percentage of a total amount. The pre-defined percentage may be 95 percent of the total amount as 5 percent of the total amount may be deducted to pay an admin of the educational system 100.
[0051] FIG. 3 illustrates a flowchart of a method 300offacilitating an interactive online education by using the educational system 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] At step 302, the educational system 100 may enable the students and the teachers to register to the education application 110 installed within the respective first computing device 104 and the second computing device 106.At step 304, the educational system 100 may enable the registered students and the registered teachers to initiate the learning request and the teaching request respectively.
[0053] At step 306, the educational system 100 may compare the first set of requirements provided by the registered students in the learning request with the second set of requirements provided by the registered teachers in the teaching request. The method 300 may proceed to a step 308, in case the first set of requirements of the at least one of, the registered students is matched with the second set of requirements of the one of, the registered students. Otherwise, the method 300 may proceed to a step 310.
[0054] At the step 308, the educational system 100 may determine whether the mode of learning provided by the at least one of, the registered students and the mode of teaching provided by the registered teachers is online or offline.In case, the educational system 100 determines that the mode of learning of the at least of, the registered students and the mode of teaching of the one of, the registered teachers is online, then the method 300 may proceed to a step 312. Otherwise, the method 300 may proceed to a step 314.
[0055] At the step 310, the educational system 100 may generate the first notification comprising the first message of “unavailability of a required teacher, please try again after sometime” and may further return to the step 304.
[0056] At the step 312, the educational system 100 may create the session link to be joined by the at least one of, the registered students and the one of, the registered teachers.
[0057] At the step 314, the educational system 100 may receive the data comprising the student location, the language preference, and so forth from the at least one of, the registered students. At step 316, the educational system 100 may generate the list of teachers provided the mode of teaching as the offline mode and located within the pre-defined distance from the student location provided by the registered students.
[0058] At step 318, the educational system 100 may transmit the notification having the generated list of teachers and the contact detailsto the first computing device 104 of the at least one of, the registered students.
