Low-Code Interactive Classroom (LCIC) is an aPaaS online class solution built on Tencent Cloud audio/video products. You can embed the LCIC SDK into your business system to build your own online interactive classroom, without the need to develop into the complex core logic of audio/video technologies, which greatly accelerates and simplifies development of your class application.
LCIC supports multiple class roles like teacher, teaching assistant, spectator, and student. It provides various features, including real-time audio/video interaction, real-time messaging, courseware document presentation, interactive whiteboard, real-time recording, screen sharing, and teaching components such as clicker, awards, and timer. It is suitable for many education types like higher education, vocational training, and K-12 and covers diverse teaching scenarios, including one-to-one, small, large, open/live, and dual-teacher classes, online art exam/art training, and online study room.
LCIC does not store your sensitive data, and it features high security and flexibility for different business scenarios. Simply select ports and features as needed to set up your own online class service. It offers a standard class UI in the form of the SDK, so you can call the UI in your business process as needed to start a class. After a class ends, you can use the API to retrieve the class data. LCIC supports custom UIs and components as well as flexible extension of features and seamless interconnection with your other systems (user system and class scheduling system).
LCIC offers APIs for interconnection of the class processes above. The APIs implement services such as class scheduling, user management, and class login authentication, involving class creation, courseware upload, login authentication, class video, class data acquisition, and class video acquisition and covering all API use cases before, during, and after the class.
