Lifelong learning is a voluntary and self-motivated process of gaining knowledge and developing new skills throughout your life. It is important to ensure competitiveness in the continuously evolving world with industries expanding at a rapid rate. However, lack of motivation and peer-support are potential pitfalls of online learning. This results in lower completion rate of courses. This projects aims to build an online learning website with gamification and study buddy features to allow learners to have a fun and enjoyable time learning, and increasing the completion rate of courses at the same time. To achieve this objective, this project covers both the frontend and backend applications. The frontend application is built using NextJs, a modern framework for production and the backend application is built using Spring Framework with a microservice architecture.
