Students are currently isolated and unable to interact within the existing student portal system, which has limited discussion forums and file sharing capabilities. An ideal system would allow teachers to easily start interactive discussions among students and enable groups to freely communicate and collaborate within and across groups. Realizing this vision faces challenges regarding privacy, resources, stakeholder needs, and potential user resistance. The deliverables from exploring this issue will include interviews, student feedback on the current system, research on interactive education tools, and brainstorming sessions to facilitate greater interaction among teachers and students while focusing on design rather than specific software or coding implementation.
