My idea is basically a class notes exchange and collaboration for students with some social features integrated. I can not find any good application that let students share their course notes and collaborate together to learn. What do you guys think and also how would you market this idea?
Great idea ! But you are in front of lot of troubles :<p>* class are copyrighted to the teacher (or the school) in many crountries, you might have some law problems.
* students are generally poor => free to use
* students are genereally technology addict and know how to configure ads blockers.
* be sponsored by universities<p>Ideas :
* allow teacher to subscribe, and have a different interface to answer students' questions (students may discuss without teacher know, of course)
* mobile app to study in transport
* allow teacher to add optional exercice with correction (you do not want to be another online school and allows teacher grades their students)
Why ask a group of people who are not your target market? Who cares what 98% of the HN users think, they aren't going to use it.<p>We can all theorize. Unplug and go find out (talk to them, face to face) if the students feel the pain.
