Many of our mobile app’s features are unique among online tutoring providers and provide a user with complete homework support. Live Help: Our mobile writing lab provides students with an easy way to submit handwritten papers and other written work by simply scanning their documents through their mobile device’s built-in camera or sending a document directly from CloudPack (HelpNow’s cloud storage feature). We know of no other online tutoring provider that offers a mobile, asynchronous writing lab. : The Brainfuse Mobile App allows students to take class notes, organize them by course subject, and access them through virtually any mobile device. Patrons can also upload classroom content, such as homework assignments, worksheets, and handwritten notes to share later with a tutor during a live session. Our mobile app allows users to play back all of their previous tutoring sessions (whether those sessions took place on a desktop or mobile device). Many students find the ability to play back past sessions is helpful for review purposes. We developed a mobile homework assignment tracker and task manager to help students stay on top of their assignments. Our Question Center allows users to submit questions to Brainfuse tutors asynchronously. : Users enjoy access to thousands of flashcards, including card sets that they created through HelpNow’s desktop platform. : We partnered with Boopsie to make HelpNow available through its mobile app platform. Our asynchronous platform gives students the option to submit papers to our writing lab or questions to our tutors from virtually any computer or mobile device. For instance, students who wish to submit a paper to our writing lab have the option of taking a photo of the paper with their smartphone and submitting it through our Brainfuse Mobile App. Once an item is submitted to our asynchronous platform, our task management system ensures that it is assigned to the appropriate expert. The system tracks the submission and sends reminders and alerts to Brainfuse tutors to ensure that the submission is returned to students, generally within 24-48 hours. Some responses are sent in the form of a file. Other responses, when appropriate (such as Math questions), are sent in the form of a recording of the tutor working through the concept on the Brainfuse whiteboard. The recording resides on the Brainfuse server and does not require additional downloads to play back. In order to deliver HelpNow, we built the most accessible learning platform among online tutoring providers. It is Mac and PC compatible, supports all standard web browsers, and requires no downloads or add-ons, such as Flash or Silverlight — platforms that may present access and stability issues to students who are not computer savvy or who have older machines. And through careful optimization and design, the Brainfuse Online Meeting Room is even capable of accommodating students with dial-up modems: Brainfuse Online Tutoring I love this!!
