Abstract

Students using the edX platform dont yet have an effective way for realtime collaboration with each other. For my project, I will create an environment for a student in an edX course to quickly find and collaborate with another student working on the same material. The environment could be used for solving problem sets, discussing lectures, and social interaction. The environment will feature technologies such as realtime collaborative drawing, smartphones as peripherals, and smart pairing of students.
