About This Video:
Texas A&M, and universities in general, have thousands of foreign students who study at their institutions. Though intelligent, the language barrier can prove to be a hindrance to these students, especially if they come from nations where only their native tongue is widely spoken. In order to combat this issue, we propose making Knowbal, a service that will enable students from different universities across the globe to offer web-based tutoring sessions for students studying abroad in their native language. By doing so, we can prevent college students from falling behind due to a language barrier and enable them to thrive in the classroom.
