Review my startup (a student collaboration platform)
- jmathai 16y agoI posted this last week in the middle of the night but have put the screencast on our home page. Hoping some of you are actually awake to provide some feedback :) -- Thanks.
- danielnicollet 16y agoHi Jmathai, Best feedback about this sort of thing is often some questions. I guess my main question for you would be: Why would people do this on Facebook when most educational institutions (Stanford included I suppose) already offer curriculum management software? Cheers Dan
- jmathai 16y agoHey Dan, Thanks for the feedback. We're aware that many universities already use software like Blackboard and Moodle. They are, however, a pain to use. The systems are also disconnected from the student's normal activities. If you're friends with students on Facebook you'll see that they often try to collaborate using their own status updates. So to answer your question: students would do this on Facebook because they already are. It's not that our service does anything better or more efficiently (though I believe it does) --- but we're deployed on platforms that give us tremendous leverage (Facebook, iPhone (coming), etc.).
