The problem Learnify solves
“Time is Money” is an incorrect statement. The reality is that “Productivity is money”. As per the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Pandemic "lowered productivity within firms across countries, with the adverse effects on within-firm productivity likely to have been largest in industries where it is harder for jobs to be done from home." This was due to lack of productive environment in the house. Students often lack productivity when studying in the house alone and often access the library as a study environment.
However, accessing the library is not easy for most people working from and studying from distanced courses. Hence we propose to migrate the physical library to a virtual library.
It would be threefold:
- Virtual streamings:
Students and professionals would stream themselves or their study material in public/private rooms with others doing the same. They can join the public room as well as create their own. They can also join groups preparing for UPSC, JEE, and NEET. Study Streaming will have chat and study timer integrated for productive sessions (as well as on-demand tab locking). These study groups will also help students find other students, seek help, and interact during breaks.
- E-Library:
Students can access various books as well as notes uploaded by other students. Students can upload their notes in return for coins which they can redeem later in the form of goodies and other incentives
- Teach Anything Anytime, Learn Anything Anytime
Anyone can schedule anything they want to teach but in a controlled environment. After the session, students can give a rating, which will be compiled together later. This can be done even on YT but lacks personal touch there. Various sessions take place on Zoom but often remain hidden as they are only promoted via LinkedIn and Telegram, but one can't search for it openly.
