Competitive Analysis
Going deeper#
We believe that softwares that we build should solve problems. All things aside, this project is created to solve realistic issues that we faced as teaching assistants (CS2030). We realized that certain work that we put in as TAs were super helpful for our students but they could be automated/reused/organized to save our time & the time of students from future batches as well. At the very least, this is what we hope to achieve based on our own needs and knowledge:
- A way to create weekly quiz that we can share to the students to do and learn from their attempts.
- A way to explain stuff related to the module and have it ready to be shared again for the future batches.
- A way to organize the resources we created for students to take advantage of what we know.
- A way to capture insightful question from students, and also the answer to these questions.
- A way to motivate students to participate in creation of exercise questions so that they can practice them before the exams.
Why Not xxx & Why Us#
Here's our attempt to address the elephants in the room.
Why Not LumiNUS#
We improve on many of LumiNUS's core features such as quiz taking and forum post viewing. We also make it easy to use our app as the navigation between the pages is much smoother saving time and improving efficiency.
Why Not Coursemology#
If you are not aware, the Coursemology website states that it is
built by teachers, for teachers
We however, are students who care about learning. We take pride in sharing our perspective and bring functionalities that might be closer to the hearts of fellow students. We literally walk our talk, among our target users.
Why Not Piazza#
We acknowledge that Piazza has a great forum functionality that support questions and answers among students. However, our platform includes integration with quiz functionality and elements of gamification.
