Online class participation has been a hot topic in recent years, due to the inconvenience and fear of human contact caused by the pandemic. Although almost all post-secondary have already adapted to the change by utilizing existing systems such as canvas. As students of Simon Fraser University, we are confident in our experience to say that there are definitely some major design flaws that exist and after the extensive use caused by the COVID pandemic, became more prominent. A major flaw of online class participation is the limited functionality and accessibility of live classes.

Our goal is to improve upon the live lecture experience of the classroom UI and attempt to create an imitation of the classroom vibe; allowing students to feel connected as if they were actually present in class
