QuestEd

Problem Statement

Engineering students face numerous challenges that hinder their academic success and personal growth. These include:

  • Lack of Personalization: Traditional learning methods fail to adapt to individual learning abilities and paces.
  • Overwhelming Content: Managing the vast volume of technical coursework is a struggle for many students.
  • High Dropout Rates: Academic pressure contributes to a significant number of students discontinuing their studies.
  • Limited Peer Interaction: Students lack adequate opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
  • Neglect of Mental Health: Stress and burnout affect students' academic performance and overall well-being.

Gap in Existing Solutions

For Students:

  • Absence of tools that adapt content difficulty to individual skill levels (easy, medium, hard).
  • Lack of integrated support for student well-being.

For Teachers:

  • Limited platforms for sharing quality educational resources.
  • No feedback mechanisms to help refine teaching methods.

The Need: A platform that personalizes learning, fosters peer collaboration, gamifies engagement, and promotes student well-being.

Proposed Solution

QuestEd is an ed-tech platform designed to simplify learning for engineering students while supporting teachers. It includes two dedicated portals:

  1. Student Portal

    • Students take an initial test to assess their knowledge and receive personalized courses and quizzes at three levels: easy, medium, and hard.
    • Features include:
      • Study materials in PDF format and embedded videos.
      • Gamification elements like badges for completing courses and quizzes.
      • A dashboard for tracking progress.
      • A calendar displaying daily quizzes and schedules.
      • Subject-specific chats for peer interaction and knowledge sharing.
      • Real-time monitoring of student well-being through facial recognition, offering health tips.

  2. Teacher Portal

    • Teachers can:
      • Upload educational resources, such as videos and PDFs.
      • Access pre-existing materials to enhance teaching.
      • Track student performance and engagement.

How It Solves the Problem

  • Personalization: Adaptive courses and quizzes cater to individual abilities, reducing overwhelm and boosting engagement.
  • Content Management: Organized topics with progress tracking ensure manageable learning.
  • Retention: Gamified features and personalized learning paths enhance confidence and reduce dropout rates.
  • Well-Being Support: Health tips and stress management suggestions foster balanced learning.
  • Teacher Empowerment: Streamlined resource sharing and access to analytics improve teaching strategies.

Technical Approach

Tech Stack

  • Frontend:
    • React.js: For building an interactive and dynamic user interface.
  • Backend:
    • Node.js and Express.js: To handle server-side logic and manage API routes.
  • Database:
    • MongoDB: For storing user data, course progress, and resources.
  • Additional Tools:
    • YouTube API: For embedding educational videos.
    • Calendar API: To display and manage schedules and quizzes.
    • Gemini API
    • Fast API

Feasibility & Scalability

Feasibility:

  • Leveraging widely adopted technologies ensures reliable development and deployment.
  • The platform’s architecture supports efficient handling of resources and secure data management.

Scalability:

  • Cloud hosting and scalable databases like MongoDB enable seamless handling of increased users.
  • Future feature expansion includes live classes, multilingual support, and advanced gamification elements.
  • Automation tools streamline content updates and user onboarding, supporting growth.

Impact and Benefits

Tangible Benefits:

  • Improved learning outcomes through personalized courses and adaptive quizzes.
  • Access to a comprehensive library of study materials and resources.
  • Enhanced student well-being with real-time health tips.

Intangible Benefits:

  • Increased student motivation and engagement through gamification.
  • Stronger peer collaboration and knowledge sharing.
  • Teacher empowerment with a simplified resource-sharing process.

Positive Effects:

  • Empowers students to succeed academically.
  • Supports teachers in delivering impactful education.
  • Promotes innovative, scalable education solutions.
