@markus_zhang @gilbert_foo @j1_g8 @nat_goh Congratulations, this looks like an awesome product that's desperately needed in today's world! As a maker of an edtech product (Coding Rooms) myself, I wanted to share a few points of constructive feedback: 1. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my browser, but the links on the FAQ page (https://www.edu-pal.org/faq) don't seem to work 2. After installing the extension, it'd be super helpful if it brought me to a page to finish my onboarding process and/or a popup when I click on it (outside of Google Meet) to show me what to do next. 3. Integrated attendance tracking/exports would be great. 4. Forcing students to install the extension (while I understand this is a technical requirement) is a big hurdle when it comes to getting started. Perhaps there could be a way that students can have this as a popup/new tab link sent in the chat so that they don't need to download the extension? 5. Integrations with learning management systems (like Google Classroom might help enable adoption) 6. Being clearer about compliance (FERPA, GDPR, etc.) would be very helpful. Even though I might be able to read your privacy policy and deduce that you're compliant, it is non-obvious for most teachers. 7. It might be helpful to make clear that your product is completely free (or at least has a free tier) on the front-page. All the best and I hope to see Edu-pal in more classrooms!

Hi @svarlamov, thank you so much for your insightful feedback! The FAQ issue was a quick fix which should be solved now, and we will take note of compliance and the new tab tips! When you enter your first Google Meet with Edu-pal, the extension redirects you to a Getting Started page. LMS integrations and attendance tracking will actually be a part of the standalone webapp platform that we are currently developing. Hope all goes with your EdTech product too!

Hi @svarlamov, thank you for your support and feedback! we've just fixed the FAQ page and it should hopefully be working now. We're changing our website to make the free-tier clearer right now, and we'll try to implement the rest of your advice as swiftly as possible. Also, wow! Coding Rooms looks like an amazing product! Having had experience learning coding myself, I sorely wished my teachers used such a resource when teaching us, it would have been a far superior alternative to our teachers walking in between desks, or submitting requests to check our code! Love it! Thanks for the support and feedback!

Nice work, @markus_zhang and team. :) Smart to build a layer on top of Google Meet.

@rrhoover Thank you for your support! We wanted to reach the teachers where they were which is exactly why we built on top of Google Meet, instead of creating yet another video platform!

Dear ProductHunt, We (@markus_zhang, @gilbert_foo, @j1_g8, @nat_goh) are Edu-pal, four sixteen-year-olds launching our very first app. During the COVID-19 lockdown, my classmates and I found our teachers struggling to move their teaching into the online space. We created Edu-pal to replicate the way teachers gauge whether students understand the material in the online space. We wanted to make e-learning just a bit easier for our teachers, and now we want to do the same for teachers worldwide. We optimised for simplicity and ease-of-use to the extreme. Teachers can ask any question with a click, and we fill in all the missing fields (e.g. options, answer, etc) for them. We hope Edu-pal will alleviate some of your troubles in online learning amid the new normal, and we look forward to hearing what you think!

@markus_zhang @gilbert_foo @j1_g8 @nat_goh very clear usecase and nicely done. Can it also be used in other web based video conferencing tools? Like Teams, Whereby or other video tools?

@milann Thank you for your support! For now, Edu-pal only supports Google Meet (from a quick survey we determined many schools use Meet compared to other web-based platforms), but we are hard at work supporting other platforms, so please stay tuned on our website!

As we pick up learning via online from 2020 onward, I often ask myself how could teachers easily gauge the level of understanding amongst students in a systematic way via online; how could we conduct group quizzes to make online learning just as interactive as in-classroom. Then we found EDU- Pal!

@z_selina This is precisely the spirit of Edu-pal, thank you for capturing it so well!

Great idea Markus! Is it possible to localize the content?
Markus Zhang
Maker
Hi @milos_milosavljevic, We are working hard to develop a comprehensive dashboard as a standalone webapp, which will include options to batch-upload and batch-download (I believe this is what you mean by localisation?) Currently, we don't see localisation as a strong use case for the teachers - because we found through our surveys that most really just wanted a quick tool to gauge the mood of the class.

@milos_milosavljevic @markus_zhang I meant translating the dashboard labels and notifications, along with choosing the language in which you operate the app. Would be great if you set it up as a crowd-translation project on one of the platforms for this purpose. I can do Serbian :)

@milos_milosavljevic @markus_zhang Multi-language support is coming soon! Thank you for that crowdsourcing tip, we will take note and contact you if we need Serbian translators 😄
