Collaborative Study Platform
Team Name: CodeCrafters
Problem Statement
Educational Collaboration Challenge
Online learning environments currently lack effective real-time group collaboration. Students face
significant hurdles in engaging with peers, leading to diminished learning experiences.
Communication Barriers
Struggles in Virtual Engagement: Many students report feeling isolated and disconnected during online
classes. Supporting Data: Research indicates that 70% of students feel that current platforms fail to
facilitate meaningful interaction.
Limited Interactive Learning
Existing platforms do not seamlessly integrate video conferencing with collaborative tools, hindering
effective group work.
Accessibility Issues
Many tools require complex setups or paid services, creating barriers for students from diverse
backgrounds.
Proposed Solution
Group Study Platform: Create virtual study
rooms for students.
Room-Based Collaboration: Users can directly
join subject-specific rooms like DSA, DBMS, or Web
Development to collaborate and share knowledge
in real-time.
Real-time Video Collaboration: Simulates in-
person study sessions.
Interactive Messaging System: Enables
seamless sharing of notes, links, and questions.
AI Study Assistant: Integrated Google Gemini AI
for instant academic assistance.
User Authentication: Secure login ensures
student identity.

Business & Scalability
• Target Market: Students at all educational levels,
particularly higher education and online learning
programs.
• Monetization Strategy:
• Freemium model with basic features available
for free
• Premium subscription for advanced features
(extended room capacity, longer session
recordings)
• Institutional licenses for schools and
universities
• Scalability:
• Microservices architecture allows for
independent scaling of components
• Cloud deployment enables automatic scaling
based on user demand
• Database sharding for handling increased user
data
Impact & Future Scope
Educational Impact: Enhances collaborative learning
experiences, improving knowledge retention and
academic performance.
Accessibility: Makes quality group study sessions
available to students regardless of geographical
location.
Integrated Code Editor with Socratic Teaching
Approach: Enables students to code collaboratively in
real-time. Provides guidance on syntax errors with
explanations rather than AI-generated solutions,
promoting learning over shortcuts.
