PCTeacher

Inspiration

• We realized that those who had a harder time learning in class don't always have a way to catch up to their classmates, leading to them falling further behind in class. PCTeacher aims to fix this issue.

What it does

• A teaching tool website that aims to help teacher help those with disabilities be it mental or physical.
• PCTeacher uses information from past lesson questions to generate a personalized learning type for the user. It then displays future lessons specialized for that learning type.

How we built it

• Our website was made using a Python web-framework called Django and stylized with Bootstrap
• It is hosted on DigitalOcean
• MathML is used for LaTex Parsing (to display in-line math such as fractions and exponents).

Challenges we ran into

• Commits to Github overlapping or behind or ahead or overall not working.
• Artistic abilities
• We had too big of an idea

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Auto generated numbers in problems using parameters set by the teacher.
• Login system that includes a database to store students and their learning styles.
• Working user database
• Randomized problems and examples paired with lessons
• The adaptation of lessons to multiple learning styles

What we learned

• How to use Python Django
• Jinja, Bootstrap elements.
• SSH to access files in Digital Ocean
• How to implement various website functionalities

What's next for PCTeacher

• Generate visuals with LaTex.
• Expanding lessons for other subjects
• A more intuitive lesson/problem creation system
• A redesign of the website UI/UX for better aesthetics
• A profile page that displays information on the user (lessons completed, learning style, etc.)
