Inspiration
Transitioning from in-person classes to online classes seems like an idea that would work well on paper. But as reality has shown us, it’s not that simple. A significant issue is the rise in workload and increased level of time management of students, especially with the adoption of asynchronous classes. Asynchronous classes are difficult to manage. As such, it’s not uncommon for students to perpetually procrastinate, causing them to fall behind. Asynchronous classes have a negative effect, de-incentivizing students to focus on these courses.
What it does
StudentSync is a software that’s used for the management of asynchronous classes between peers. By allowing you to coordinate when you plan on attending your asynchronous classes with others, everyone is held accountable for their attendance, incentivizing productivity.
StudentSync will help students feel less isolated during isolation.
How we built it
Integrating Google FireStore databases, Zoom API’s, and AWS Lambdas, students are able to create their own study groups and simultaneously connect with their colleagues.
Challenges we ran into
The Zoom API was difficult to integrate.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
FireStore isn't natively compatible with C# and we're glad we were able to make it work.
What we learned
We learned a lot about database management using NoSQL, as well as gained valuable experience in desktop development in C#.
