Elementary and secondary school students can now count on a superhero as they approach year-end exams: “cyberprof.”

Alloprof, which provides homework help to Quebec students, announced on Monday the launch of the new tool to come to the rescue of students in distress.

Students can contact a teacher via audio connection. There is also visual space for exchanging graphics, images or web links to references.

This graphical space can also be used as a whiteboard where both the student and the teacher can interact.

As with other Alloprof services, the cyberprofs will be available between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., from Monday to Thursday.
