General
Grouply is a social learning platform where we learn from each other. The platform enables us to do that by providing courses, quizzes, collaboration features (audio video call, screen sharing, whiteboarding and many more). We believe learning is better when we learn in groups with like-minded people. Platform has lot of interactive social features suitable for group learning. Grouply Platform supports and facilitates the creation of groups and social networking by the Users of the Grouply Platform. Members/learners can put comments, reply to queries, create groups, view the leader board by using the Grouply Platform.
Human is social animal hence learning in social comes by nature to us. Social learning means learning along with your friends/like-minded people in groups
There are many benefits for learning in a group:
a. Improves information retention- 50% of the material covered through discussion and interaction is retained in human memory
b. 360-degree learning - social learning not only enhances technical skills but also communication, team-working, presentation, and debating skills
c. When people learn together, they cover more ground
d. Social learners are not passive recipients of information but are active learners
Platform and collaboration features are available for all for group study purposes. However as of now, quizzes and courses to assist or enable learning are of IT skills.
Grouply Platform is required to enable social aspect of learning in such a way that one can interact with each other for learning new skills. Its active learning where learning is not imposed on you but is done in a non-boring way along with known/unknown people of same technical interest and who are keen learners
Since childhood most of us might have done group learning at our friend’s home. Wasn’t it a much active and fun learning for us. So this Platform enables online group learning, where irrespective of location and language you can learn in group with people of same technical interest and inclinations.
