Development Status

Currently in development, with plans of investing over 100+ hours to craft an impactful and user-friendly learning experience.

Project Vision and Mission

KnowledgeNinja aims to democratize education, offering a personalized and adaptive learning solution for middle and high school students. With my background as an early education teacher, I've witnessed firsthand the gaps in the public educational system — and this project is my endeavor to bridge those gaps, ensuring that quality education is accessible and effective for every student.

The Challenge

Traditional study methods often fall short, especially in a one-size-fits-all educational system. Students require a solution that understands their individual pace and offers material that is both timely and relevant.

Research-Driven Innovation

Built upon proven learning principles such as spaced repetition and active recall, our application turns student-provided text into interactive practice questions. This approach ensures constant engagement and significantly boosts memory retention.

Core Features

1. User Authentication and Personalization

  • What It Does: Empowers students to create their own accounts and enjoy a personalized learning experience.
  • The Benefit: All study materials and progress are securely saved, allowing students to pick up right where they left off in their learning journey.

2. Excerpt Input

  • What It Does: Provides a dedicated space for students to input their study material.
  • The Benefit: The AI intelligently generates spaced repetition flashcards, directly saving them to the user’s account for ongoing learning.

3. Spaced Repetition Practice

  • What It Does: Tailors review sessions to the student’s performance, optimizing the repetition intervals for maximum retention.
  • The Benefit: Actively engages students in their learning process, ensuring that progress is tracked and analyzed for a truly personalized experience.

4. Performance Analytics

  • What It Does: Delivers in-depth insights into each student's progress and areas of mastery.
  • The Benefit: Equips students with the knowledge of where they excel and where they need to focus, fostering a sense of accountability and direction in their studies.

Custom GPT Integration

Objective: Implement a custom GPT model using the Assistant API, trained on the "Learning How to Learn" methodology. This model will generate spaced repetition questions from student-provided excerpts, revolutionizing the way students study.

  • Implementation Plan:

    1. API Integration: Seamlessly integrate the Assistant API to leverage a custom GPT model.
    2. Data Preparation: Compile a dataset focusing on learning techniques and comprehension skills.
    3. Model Training: Train the custom GPT model on the prepared dataset to specialize in generating educational content.
    4. Excerpt Processing: Develop a system where students can input their study material, which is then processed by the custom GPT model.
    5. Question Generation: Use the trained model to create spaced repetition questions based on the key concepts and ideas in the student-provided excerpts.
    6. Continuous Learning: Implement feedback loops to continuously improve the question generation algorithm based on user interactions and success rates.

  • The Benefit: This feature will enable KnowledgeNinja to offer highly personalized and effective study tools, making the learning process more interactive and engaging for students.

Future Enhancements

  • Community Feature: Create a collaborative space where students can share and access a variety of study materials.
  • Resource Recommendations: Offer tailored suggestions for additional study materials based on individual performance and needs.

Empowering Learning How to Learn

By anchoring the application in scientific learning principles, we aim to teach students not just what to learn, but how to learn. This is a crucial skill that will serve them throughout their lives, fostering independence and a love for learning.
