Abstract

The need for communication in the world has become increasingly daunting and so has the technology to enhance it. The primary reason for communication has been pegged largely to demand for factual data. This project’s sole aim is to redirect the boundless information in education available both in human minds and on the internet into a single space, available for queries, implementation and further discourse. The project is the development of a Question and Answer site tailored specifically to the needs of Ashesi Students. It utilizes a web bot capable of submitting queries to search engines and retrieving information from configured websites as a supplement to posted answers.
The project further discusses the benefits of a site as this, “an electronic mediated learning forum” to the Ashesi Community, both in terms of student development and knowledge transfer.
