NoteTogether: A Novel Distributed Note Taking Platform with Blockchain

Abstract

NoteTogether [1] seeks to bring interactivity to a very crucial aspect of online learning: consuming video media. We developed a hybrid distributed platform that provides a shared space for watching and annotating video media. Analytics are provided to all users to highlight how users are interacting with a video. NoteTogether utilizes Ethereum Blockchain to ensure data security and scalability by offloading data storage and processing requirements to the distributed Ethereum network.
