As the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic encapsulated millions of students worldwide inside their homes, the Education industry underwent a multitude of changes to adapt to the scenario, while everyone gradually accustomed themselves to the online classroom environment. Even though it is technically not possible to emulate a physical classroom experience, there has been unanimous efforts at making the online teaching-learning process more streamlined to suit both the educators as well as the students. Despite the introduction of various utilities, a major disadvantage loomed - the inability of students to focus on the lectures, in addition to the teachers and professors not being in control of what the students are doing in the midst of classes. Noticeably, students tend to browse other websites or get hooked onto their phones during the class. Teachers, not necessarily being aware of this, are unable to take any action to ensure proper attention of the learners. Furthermore, the educators always look for a method to make their monotonically tedious tasks like taking attendance much easier whilst also keeping a check on the student activity.
Getting inspired after investigating the problems faced by our own professors, we decided to build a platform that becomes the mediating utility tool for all educators, allowing them to effectively moderate the students and ensuring the engagement of the learners by making the classes more attractive and fun by the use of gamification and reward theory. GuruCool is a multifunctional all-in-one web application and classroom management tool that teachers can utilize in order to keep a check and increase student attention during an ongoing lecture with the help of Gamification (using a Quiz event trigger), where the learners need to answer the question within a stipulated time set by the teacher on the class topic. The Attention Index of a student is determined by how many questions they have answered correctly, which is reflected in the quiz leaderboard. Additionally, the application provides teachers with multiple moderation tools for perusal.
🔦 Any other specific thing you want to highlight?
Progressive Web Application with Moderation Functionality for Teachers/Educators to keep student activity under check.
Gamified Approach to Learning, with the introduction of a Point-Based in-app Quiz System with leaderboard and levelling up options. The Quiz can be set and triggered by the teacher on their will, and the students will have to answer the question before a stipulated time. This system ensures lecture attention, in addition to engagement through a competitive mindset. We psychologically try to hack the minds of the learners to capture their concentration on the classes.
Complete Classroom Management features with Dashboard where the students can join any particular subject’s class using a link generated by the teachers
Collaborative Whiteboard feature for teachers and students to brainstorm ideas and teach.
Student attendance export system, where the teachers can export the list of the meeting attendees with the click of a single button instead of taking screenshots of names or verbally taking attendance.
Role-based single-click SIGN UP/LOGIN system.
