Motivation
During COVID lockdowns, traditional tutoring for students with dyscalculia was disrupted. Recognizing the need, I designed an online collaboration platform to replicate hands-on learning digitally, helping students visually understand math.
Objectives & Goals
To build a responsive, intuitive digital tool simulating physical counting cubes, supporting simultaneous interactions for remote math tutoring sessions.
Solution & Implementation
I used Socket.IO for real-time interactions, hosting it securely on a dedicated VPS with robust authentication. The platform enabled users to create virtual math cubes, manipulate their grouping and colors, and hide/reveal solutions dynamically. Each tutoring session had secure, unique identifiers for privacy.
Results & Achievements
The platform was successfully deployed online, positively received by professional educators, and directly used in remote tutoring sessions, significantly enhancing the learning experience during lockdown.
Learnings & Reflections
The project deepened my skills in full-stack web development, real-time communication protocols, and translating real-world teaching methods into intuitive digital experiences.
