We've got an MVP of our own. A Minimum Viable Product. We think it best to share these ideas. Above anything else we are firm believers that we have discovered a common problem that requires a solution. We like to think that we can deliver this solution, but there just might be are people out there that are loads smarter than we are. In our quest to slay this beast, here is what Groupai will minimally deliver.

• Student Accounts
• Professor Accounts
• Groups
• Roles
• Assignments
• % Complete
• Badges or Reputation
• Grading
• Document uploads
• Media uploads / embedded
• Reminders
• Due Dates

What would you include?

On our quest to make Groupai all that it can be, we have submitted an application to Project Skyway. We are hopeful that the mentorship and development assistance can transform Groupai into the academic support tool that we want it to become. So, everyone, cross your metaphysical fingers.

The founders @mjbruder and @newcoventry have a passion for higher education. We know from our experience and from conversations with students that graded group assignments can be the bane of an academic existence. Faculty hope for greater depth, students find themselves carrying an unfair balance of the workload. We know that Groupai can become the go to solution for resolving the challenges associated with group assignments.

Keep an eye on us and sign up to Get Groupai.
