Inspiration

The recent on-going WAR crisis and the global spread of COVID-19 have significantly disrupted global collaboration efforts in a variety of industries, including marketing, services, education, and more.

The lockout cost the children a great deal of "learning time" in the educational setting. To ensure learning continuity, many nations have embraced online education.

Reimagining remote cooperation in the context of inclusivity and equality in the post-COVID-19 era and beyond using a robust platform powered by File Coin.

Global educational efforts were significantly disrupted by such events as pandemics and war. • The pupils lost a lot of "learning time" as a result of the lockout.

• To ensure learning continuity, many nations now use online training.

• Rapid transition to everything being remote and online; online learning highlights the social divide

• The current online-based methods of distance learning are not the best for fostering a welcoming learning atmosphere.

• Millions of students have turned to online learning as a solution.

• Special needs students suffer when they are denied access to learning opportunities, peers, or school.

• Online education has been perceived as a decorative kind of systematic oppression that excludes students with impairments.

• impact on disabled students is disproportionate.

The files are encrypted throughout a decentralized environment, improving security. Compared to current cloud storage options, Filecoin offers more economical data storage. In terms of transactions, file coin is also effective.

What it does

We firmly believe that this problem can be solved jointly and sustainably using Filecoin's decentralized online storage. Let's take a peek over the horizon. Further, we go into detail about how we used Filecoin's video and storage features to create a whole platform for persons with disabilities.

• From a technical perspective, File Coin APIs have enhanced features to facilitate inclusion with

• Sign language video generated in frame to grasp material fluidly;

• Videos with additional speech-to-text subtitle functionality;

• Communities and conversation elements on current Videos to make them more knowledge-rich for everyone.

How we built it

• Hyperscaler's Speech to Text capabilities - for this hackathon, we used the Google Speech to Text service.

• Node.js

• Storage Services

• SendGrid

• Google Text to speech

The application infrastructure is hosted on AWS. We have containerized our application and we will use the docker image to run on AWS managed container environment. We are having the cloud formation templates ready to create our infrastructure and it will work in below process.

Challenges we ran into

technical difficulties with integrations across different tech stacks

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Setup of a free Tier + Institute account Everyone has access to an open platform with specified free tiers for cooperation and privacy-protecting institute tenants. Scalable to huge payloads with the decentralised file coin storage as the underlying power

What we learned

Both the quality and justice of learning must be considered. Because of the emphasis on internet content, many individuals with disabilities are left behind. A vast knowledge store must be created in order to support offline learning, revision, and learning at any time and from any location.

introduce fresh, creative ideas Using cognitive talents, bring individual level feedback, proactive actions, and so on.

Think past the horizon • Reframe educational institutions as a robust system that can carry on despite ongoing instability. • Create a platform that is more inclusive, reimagining everything together. • Using a strong platform to advance the right to educational equality, work toward improving your community. • Prepare for scale and any lockdown in future with participating enterprises

We wrote nodejs code to host static html pages and photos on ipfs.

What's next for Bridge

We genuinely anticipate the cooperation of the Filecoin team to make this production-ready and greatly scalable with widespread accessibility to improve society.
