BINDRS

Bindrs offers the most productive and most pleasant way for students and educators to collaborate on multi-media notes and documents.By using social media and e-mail for private communication about projects we integrate collaboration into students' daily on-line activities, using the channels and apps they already like and use frequently. Schools and universities have problems to support students and teachers with all the different collaboration projects they expect them to do. Students need ... to co-create content for group assignments. Teachers need to collaborate on new courses and on other projects, but they have hardly any time together to do so. And teachers are searching for better on-line ways to support students with their assignments. They are looking for solutions that connect better with the natural on-line habitat of students. Most available co-creation tools, like wiki's and Google Docs, are too complicated and they don't connect well with the on-line channels students and teachers like to use on a regular basis. They need to go to special websites they normally don't visit and they need to use specially created logins they keep mixing up. Email is no good solution either. It is too frustrating. Attached files get lost and versions of documents get mixed up all the time. And especially teachers are already suffering from an overload of email. Bindrs are on-line co-working spaces that look like shared multi-media notebooks. Each contributor can connect them to his own preferred set of social media or to an e-mail address. * They keep co-creation and collaboration simple * They alert you on your favourite social networks when necessary, like no one else does * They keep it private like in a safe in Switzerland * They let you do so in style like Moleskine No installation of software or apps is needed, since we make use of the social media apps you already use. And no new logins need to be created. You can use your social media logins. Bindrs is a webapp that integrates/connects with your social media and works on all your devices. It's even possible to work together across different social media. We call this 'cross-social collaboration'. Bindrs is optimized for 'hit-and-run collaboration' to make all your time spent on a collaboration project as productive as possible. In short you could say we turned the good old school notebooks and exercise books into multi-media binders that connect to the social networks that are popular among students. They can use them to collaborate with each other and with their teachers.More
