The project pertains to the development of a web-based learning resource sharing and discussion platform for NTU students. Nowadays, in the fast-pace society, it is important for students to learn as much as possible within the shortest duration. It is not enough to learn only from professors and text books. Regarding this trend, online learning portals have been growing to play a greater role in knowledge acquiring. Although there are already more than enough useful educational websites published across the world web, it can still be time consuming if one has to search needed information from the vast Internet resources all on one’s own. Besides, the focus of these educational websites is mainly on providing learning resources. Thus, a learning resource sharing platform is essential, where users can share and discover knowledge that is more related to courses they take and discuss problems with peers.
