SkillVersum Information

SkillVersum is a career and knowledge development website based on community. Currently, most of the knowledge on the website is related to programming, but we designed SkillVersum in a way, that anybody can create learning materials. It makes sharing material for university courses or any kind of knowledge the user possesses possible. Users can collect points and skills by creating private courses, learning materials, tutoring sessions. Developing the application, we implemented gamification techniques to make studying more enjoyable. It is possible to create exercises for the study materials, which can be automatically evaluated multiple choice tests and homeworks. We consider important the exercises because the students can test their required knowledge and the teachers can see how the student has learned the materials. We are currently working on transforming SkillVersum into a modularized product that we would like to provide to companies and organizations. In this case, companies and organizations may require a customized SkillVersum that can be used for internal knowledge and information sharing. Our labour of love is to teach programming and then to help find a job, but the revenue from outsourcing only reduces our costs. The same is the case with revenue from job and training advertisements.
