This package is part of FAILS. A web-based system developed out of university lectures. It is a continuous pen-based notepad editor delivering electronic chalk to several beamers in the lecture hall.
The students can follow the lecture also on their tablets and notebooks and can scroll independently and ask questions to the lecturer using a chat function. Furthermore, polls can be conducted.
After the lecture has been completed a pdf can be downloaded at any time.
FAILS components is completely integrated using LTI into LMS such as Moodle.
It is the reincarnation of a system, we are using at our theoretical physics institute for several years. Now initial development is almost complete, and the software is now rolling out next term university wide.
The system is written with containerization and scalability in mind.
Feedback on errors/issues is appreciated via github's functions.
FAILS is licensed via GNU Affero GPL version 3.0
This package contains node server code to handle the notepads and screens during a lecture.
