Inspiration & Problems

Self-study at home is always tough and people are struggling to keep track of their learning path and achieving the results they want. When we learn things from multiple sources, there is no effective way to manage them in one single place. People are losing motivation to study during Covid-19

What it does

  • An AI-powered E-learning platform that provides high-quality course material to enable skill development
  • A P2P learning community of engaged learners
  • Gamification of the platform to foster learning and growth in the form of fun challenges
  • A centralized dashboard to access your study material and track your progress

How we build it

We use an API connection with the Udemy website. It can return the course review list, course details, all course list, and public curriculum list. By utilizing this information, we can provide extensive study resources to our users. More importantly, if the user studies a course in Udemy, our platform will automatically have all the curriculums, so the user can track the learning process in our platform.

We will also try to use the same methodology with other course provider websites, so the user can track all their learning in one place.

Trained Machine learning model to cluster study behavior and make learning recommendations.

Accomplishments during the weekend

Our team has a very diversified skill set and by working together, we created a fully functional Intuitive UI designing prototype and fully functional API connection to the Udemy website, all from scratch. We have done tons of research and learned new skills during the weekend.

Frustration

The solution’s impact to the crisis

  • Enable high-quality learning for self -learners to advance their careers.
  • Make high-quality learning material accessible across all socio-economic backgrounds across the world.
  • Foster a community of learners and enable peer 2 peer learning powered by technology

The value of solution after the crisis

Job competition will be much higher after the crisis due to job cuts and people will want to distinguish themselves through skill enhancement to make themselves an asset to organizations.

Our platform is free of charge to users and our revenue stream will mainly come from ads and affiliate program of course providers.
