Problem

Online learning is cumbersome. It requires students to navigate a multitude of sites and software to do standard student activities, like attending class, submitting assignments, and viewing their schedules. The current setups are inconvenient and confusing, not to mention, many video conferencing options offer a less-than-enjoyable online class experience.

Solution

 

An online education software which includes features like video conferencing, overview of the upcoming class, chat function, academic calendar, organizing group meetings, and assignment submission.
