This post was edited by CVVR at 31-1-2021 17:00
Hello Fans of ColorOS,
How're all of you? I hope all of you in the ColorOS community are doing well and having fun.
In this thread I am going to discuss about the one of the best learning app from Google : Socratic : Get unstuck. Learn better - Play Store Link
Socratic is an education tech company that offers a mobile app for students. The app uses AI technology to help students with their homework by providing educational resources like videos, definitions, Q&A, and more. Ask Socratic a question and the app will find the best online resources for you to learn the concepts. Socratic supports most high school subjects.
Socratic was first launched as a web product in 2013 by Chris Pedregal and Shreyans Bhansali, in New York City, United States. They launched their app under the same name in 2016
In March 2018, Socratic was acquired by Google for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was kept hidden until August 2019, when the Founder and CTO (now engineering manager) Shreyans Bhansali announced that the company had joined Google.
The Socratic app utilizes AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to accurately predict which concepts will help a student solve their question. Over months, millions of real student questions were analyzed and classified. Then the app uses that data to guess on future questions and provide specific education content.
The app works by letting students take a photo of a homework question.[8] Using OCR (Optical Character Recognition), the app is able to read their photo and classify it using the technology described above. Students receive various “cards” in the app with different learning resources such as definitions, YouTube videos, Q&A, and original content and illustrations written by the Socratic.org web community
Socratic was built to support Science, Math, Literature, Social Studies, and more.
There are in total 4 main groups of subjects on Socratic.org which have sub-branches included:
