Background

What is Canvasboard?

An interactive Webboard and Learning Management tool for Schools, Colleges, and Universities 🌎

Why it is important?

Online teaching has become the new norm for most of the Institutes/Schools/Colleges amidst the pandemic. There are still many institutes in India for which they are facing issues during online teachings in terms of Flexibility, Costs, etc. Canvasboard is an interactive learning management tool built using web technologies to enhance teaching as well as learning experience considering the current COVID19 crisis.

Who are we building for?

Educational Staff, Teachers, and Professors of Schools/Colleges and Universities.

Goal

To build a standalone web application that improves and enhances online teaching as well as learning experience.

Problems

• Teachers and Professors
  • In-class teaching flexibility: Teachers and Professors make use of Zoom and other real-time video streaming protocols and share PDF or PPT to teach a class. There is no sort of means to teach them in the form of white board digitally.
  • Shortage of tools: Many university and school teachers are not provided by digital tablets for teaching.
  • Updates about the classes: There is no mechanism to update the students in case of cancellation of any classes or the schedule of classes. No digital time table for students.
  • Changing across the platforms: A professor or a teacher needs to access different platforms to accomplish a single small task.
• Students
  • Platform availability: An android application for students to access their teacher's or professor's class schedule.

Outcomes

• Teachers or Professors can conduct live classes digitally without use of any digital tablets just from their smart phones.
• Students can now easily stay updated about the daily class timings and schedule.
