This is just a compilation of thoughts and ideas and a basic plan regarding how to create a new kind of mechanism for education and learning. There have been several attempts at a Framework like this...but they all fall short on ONE ground. Accessibility and Long term utility. Accessibility : Funny yet relevant word...More on that later :D

2.  In this session we will discuss the implications and potential
of investing in the development of a breed of Applications
that facilitate the learning procedures of students preparing
for competitive examinations across India.
 We plan on harnessing the available technology to promote
a three-dimensional learning experience for the users of this
application.

3.  Construction of a framework that allows the
following facilities:
1. Displaying information
2. Navigation
3. Categorization
4. Account management
5. User feedback
6. User space
7. Discussion forum

4.  Primary Demographic
Our objective is to target Students who prepare or are
planning to prepare for a specific competitive examination like
UPSC, etc.
 Secondary Demographic
Teachers who want access to study material, questionnaires for
purpose of reference.

5.  The user of this app shall have the following
facilities:
1) Acquisition of Study materials.
2) Ability to bookmark/favorite specific sections of the
database.
3) A framework for organizing Notes.
4) Access to information regarding exam dates, forms,
updates in question patterns, etc.
5) Communication with other users using this application.
6) Ability to influence the content on the app by posting
information that will be updated into the database after
going through proof reading and regulatory procedures.

Color Coding
Box Navigation
Readability
Organization
Diagrams Spacing
Punctuation
Appeal
Visual Flow
Highlights
Contrast
Scale

7.  Application will be optimized for devices that
have touch-based interfaces.
 The following actions will trigger navigational
experience for the user:
1. Swipe
2. Pinch (Zoom)
3. Two finger swipe

8. Feedback
Study
Browse
Plan

9.  Since the entire infrastructure cannot be
completed as a whole in a single go, the
progress of additions of features shall be
divided into the following Stages:
Prototype Categorization Navigation
Alpha Display
Information
User Account
Beta Forum
Homebrew
Materials

10.  The prototype version of the app is a framework where we
research and compile every topic and resource regarding the
required competitive Exam(s).
 There will basically be a well designed index for each subject
to be studied for the exam.We will also provide the names of
books and webpages which have good information on these
topics.
 Navigation:
Smooth transition between pages and single-touch/multi-
touch gesture recognition.
