Overview
This web application will help in organizing, collecting, editing, and rating questions and answers that would be used in assessing learning outcomes on software engineering course topics. The core functionality of our application is to create a community-oriented environment for students to learn and contribute towards learning outcomes of the course. By providing a more comfortable environment to share and learn from each other, we can tackle common problems of active learning in classrooms such related to embarrassment, shyness and reluctance to take part. We will offer students insights to their performance so that students know what areas have to be practiced more often. We hope to also direct students to needed and helpful resources to aid in their learning process. We design this platform to be compatible with both desktop and mobile web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
