Inspiration

This projects inspiration comes from the challenges of online learning in the pandemic. There are many problems with online learning and this project aims to solve some of them.

What it does

This project creates a server on the teacher’s computer that the students can connect to. Then, the students computer will continuously send the page that they are on to the teacher (every 5 seconds). It will also only allow students to connect if the name, IP address, and password match.

How I built it

I built it using sockets in python.

Challenges I ran into

The challenges I ran into were mainly related to sending and receiving the data from each end.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud that I was able to use the socket library and create a project with it.

What I learned

I learned how hackathons work and run as well as how to make a usable computer program

What's next for Zoom Attention and Attendance

Next, I would probably add support of other OS’s and make the UI better.
