Team Chat

Overview

The goal is to create an team chat application that enables people to create online chatrooms wher they can invite other people and communicate through them via messages and video/audio calls. Students can use this application to learn the fundementals about computer networks and real-time communication protocols with sockets. This application can of course also be used as a communication tool for online education activities.

Learning Objectives

Learn about the basics about how REST APIs work in combination with websockets and the WebRTC standard to provide a real-time communication platform by using the team-chat app.

Context

This activity is inspired by the creation of our Team Chat application for the "Advanced Software Development",which can be used as a means to offer interactive online education.
