E-Learning Platform Development

Internship details

This is a great internship for aspiring computer engineers and software developers. Remote interns help to develop a fun interactive e-Learning platform used by tertiary students all over Europe. Interns contribute to a long term project, involved with developing and populating learning courses on Moodle. Stages of development include configuration, GUI, content population and developing plugins.

This is a remote internship you can conduct from home.

E-Learning platforms are becoming increasingly important within both educational and professional institutions. This exciting internship allows you to build your software development skills in a professional environment, while also proving your ability to work remotely from home.

Interns contribute to an ongoing, long-term project to develop and configure e-Learning courses through the Moodle platform. This project is being facilitated by the International Hellenic University in Greece for its students, in conjunction with a professional technical consultancy . The E-Learning project will evolve in stages, and remote interns assist at the particular stage of the project, which coincides at the time of your internship. These stages are:

• Platform configuration
• Platform GUI (Graphical User Interface)
• Content population
• Developing or customizing plugins

As a remote intern, you’ll play an important role in developing a web-based E-Learning platform that delivers an educational curriculum in a fun and interactive way. You’ll build your software development skills, particularly on Moodle, and gain experience designing data acquisition code to promote connectivity to different devices.

Remote interns can help to deliver new modules, or improve and add functionality to existing ones. The project material can include a wide range of subjects, and you’ll have precise guidance on the specifications of each project.

While a basic understanding of computer engineering is required for this remote internship, you should also come prepared to express fresh ideas and have the ability to implement them across emerging technologies such as smart systems, IoT measurements, and remote monitoring.

As a remote intern, you’ll be in regular contact with your supervisor through email and online meetings. You’ll be expected to work collaboratively with the local team to develop integrated solutions that deliver on the educational requirements of each specific curriculum.

In all cases, interns should expect that the initial phase of their remote internship will focus on gaining some introductory knowledge. You may start by gaining an understanding or overview of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internship experiences vary. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.
