Sync
UBC Launchpad,
Nov 03, 2020
I haven't actually tried this, but the description in ProductHunt was compelling, and I can think of numerous educational activities. Basically, the idea is that a group of people get together to watch a YouTube stream (ideally, a live stream, but it could be an Office rerun). In the sidebar is a video chat, so people can see each other reacting in real time to what they're all watching. What I really like is that it was put together by a bunch of students at UBC. Now if it were MIT or Stanford, there's be an institutional press release, a commercialization plan, and a declaration that they invented video chat. Instead, here the focus is on the activity and the sharing. And it's the sort of thing that could be a lot of fun, especially if you can save and share the chats. As of right now, Sync is 100% free (no ads) and open source.
