About Us
We are the Big Data group!
We are graduate students from the Masters of Educational Technology (MET) Program at the University of British Columbia. This website was created for the ETEC 523 course in 2020W. Despite being from 4 different time zones, we managed to meet every week to work on this group project.
We hope you enjoyed our website.
