The goal is to improve the overall learning experience by providing actionable insights to educators. What sets us apart is the integration of blockchain technology, enabling distributed Machine Learning (ML).

Technical Highlights

Real-time analysis of student participation using AI algorithms.
Utilization of blockchain technology for secure and transparent data processing.
A pioneering approach to use distributed ML in an educational context.
