PWA stands for Progressive Web Application. It is a type of application software delivered through the web, built using common web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It is intended to work on any platform that uses a standards-compliant browser, including both desktop and mobile devices.
Progressive web apps (PWA) are web applications that can be accessed through a web browser and provide a similar experience to a native mobile app. They can be used in learning management systems (LMS) to provide a more seamless and engaging user experience for students.
Some ways PWA can be used in eClass LMS include:
Add to home screen: PWAs can be added to the home screen of a device, giving students quick and easy access to the LMS.
Cross-platform compatibility: PWAs can be accessed on a wide range of devices and browsers, which can be useful for students who use different devices or platforms.
Mobile compatibility: PWAs are designed to be mobile-friendly, which is important since many students may access the LMS from a mobile device.
Cost-effective: PWAs are cheaper to develop and maintain than traditional mobile apps, which can be beneficial for organizations with limited budgets.
It's worth noting that not all LMS are compatible with PWA, it's important to check if the platform you are using supports this technology before implementing it. Also, it's important to test the PWA on different devices and browsers to ensure that it provides a consistent user experience across all platforms.

One reason users love apps is they generally offer better experiences than web applications. However, developing and maintaining native apps is a lot of work, not to mention the expenses involved.
If your users use different platforms (Android, iOS, etc.), you have to code your app for each platform.
PWAs, however, don’t require you to code for each platform. They were designed with the philosophy of “code once, use everywhere.” Once you code your PWA, it can be used in-browser (as a website or web app), on desktops, and on mobile devices.
