The project was about developing a robust and scalable platform where various stakeholders of different academic disciplines could easily onboard and share educational content. This interdisciplinary platform aimed to cater to professionals of various disciplines like CS, Management, Law, CA, Social Science, Humanities, Technology, Engineering, and many others. The idea was to provide the scholars, students, researchers, and teachers a one-stop destination for their academic needs.

The Challenges:

After analyzing the objectives of the application, SunTec India’s experts estimated the probable challenges and methods to resolve them. Before starting the development process, proper planning and strategy were formulated and the right set of programmers were chosen. The scale of the project was vast which not only included providing a simpler document upload feature for buyers but also an easy search and access feature for any note, article, paper, etc for the buyers. To have an accurate classification of disciplines and their sub-disciplines, SMEs were also consulted.

The envisaged application was a real-time, robust, and user-friendly platform that made collaboration and knowledge-sharing between the right people a reality. However, our developers faced some major challenges, there were:

Setting up a simple, fast yet robust mechanism for account creation.
Providing a standard format for note sharing so that the required uniformity was maintained.
Providing features like video, image upload, and editing to enhance the value of the document.
Listing and defining relevant categories for disciplines and subdisciplines, so that notes are easily accessible.
Building a mechanism, which prompts users to add a relevant image to a document.
Formulating a mechanism for simple and sequential upload of documents.

Prohibiting unauthorized access and sharing of notes to other platforms.
Providing free preview of notes to the buyers.
Allowing buyers to write and share feedback about notes, so that other buyers can benefit from it.
