Hello HN,

I’m Stefan and I’m working on EWS, a digital classroom app. This is a project I started working on during my university studies and have recently launched a new MVP based on early feedback from universities.

This MVP is centered around a network of private clubs for universities where academic staff have the power to moderate the discussion.

Edify Web Services connects universities and students allowing them to:

- Communicate within their own private community

- Schedule and track important events

- Share/store files on a digital Backpack

* This Service is supported by a premium on demand lecture streaming plan from a network of universities

We have started launching demos for universities and are looking for more universities to connect, advice and feedback.

Thanks for taking the time.

Best, Stefan

This is cool. There is a lot of money in the edu software space. The big players (e.g. Blackboard) have expensive contracts, but some of their software is aging and you may be able to develop wanted features faster.

Hi,

Thanks for the encouragement! I do feel like ”the big players” do not take full advantage of networking between universities, and I think a great way to do this is by having a lot of universities post lectures.

I believe we can help students progress through their academic career by analyzing their interests based on the lectures they watch.

This is why the core of EWS is supported by a subscription service for lectures.
