CoWork

Inspiration

Our main inspiration behind this project was to help students like us to collaborate and work easily on projects together without hassle with features like screen- share, collaborative whiteboard, collaborative notes, chats, video calling and multiple group features. The app is designed to help students interact better and facilitate better and more productive teamwork.

Learnings

To use node.js, express.js , socket.io, peerjs, mongodb and eventually build a full -stack website.

Challenges

Difficult to use peer.js with mongodb and node.js Use of timeout function while using peer.js for video calls.

CoWork is a platform for students and teachers to collaborate and learn together. With lots of amazing features, the web application provides one-on-one interaction or an option to create classrooms and have online video call classes and peer meetings, thus enhacning virtual education. Not only this, the platform can also be used to hold online parent-teacher interactions and parents can also be the part of classrooms to keep a track.

The video-calling and chat features help students to interact better.
The app aids teacher to teach the concepts in a better way, with the in-built whiteboard, without requiring the use of multiple apps.
The whiteboard feature is useful for students and peers, to interact and create prototypes and drawings easily.
The notes features is useful in keeping a track of the important points of the meeting, which can be downloaded also.
The screen share feature helps the group to browse ideas collaboratively.
