Telvy
Open-source education platform for low-bandwidth environments
Overview
Telvy is an open-source quiz and assessment platform built for rural education NGOs, with a strong focus on reliability, low-bandwidth environments, and offline tolerance. The system supports role-based access for students, educators, and administrators, while ensuring fair evaluation through timed submissions and automated scoring.
Problem
Existing digital assessment tools were unsuitable for regions with unstable connectivity, limited hardware resources, and non-technical administrators.
- High bandwidth requirements
- Poor offline resilience
- Complex administration workflows
Solution
Telvy was designed as a lightweight web platform with optimized payload sizes, graceful degradation under poor network conditions, and a modular backend. The system includes timed quiz engines, role-based authentication, and automated evaluation pipelines with audit-friendly logging.
