@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!
@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!
