Introduction
As more and more people are using the Internet, a new trend emerged: doom scrolling. This often happens because of short attention spans and need for constant stimulation. I’ve experienced this myself, and I thought, wouldn’t it be perfect to have a doom scroller, but for A Level Students?
The Must-Have Features
- User Authentication: Users can sign up and log in to the app with their profiles
- Doom Scrolling: The main part of the app, where instead of videos, you scroll through A Level questions
- Feed Customization: Users can choose their subjects, topics and papers -> e.g. “Chemistry, Equilibrium, Paper 1”
- AI Question Marker: An AI that marks questions involving more complex answers, such as structure questions, etc.
- Reward System: Earn points for questions answered
- Questions Saver: Save questions to a list for later
- AI Algorithm: An algorithm that gets your weakest topics and put them in your feed
- Leaderboard: A leaderboard that shows the top scorers of the app
- AI Study Techniques Integration: Applies spaced repetition and other techniques to the questions in the feed
- Intuitive UI: Similar to apps in the market, users know how to use it immediately
Not Important, But Future Features
- Support for other exam boards, such as Edexcel…
Current Challenges
- AI Algorithms: Creating an AI that perform the aforementioned tasks is complex.
- Cost: The cost of running AIs might skyrocket.
- Question Bank: Creating a question bank by extracting from past papers is tedious but hard to automate.
