Description: Developed Wequest, an interactive learning platform designed as a Goldsmiths Masters final project. The site enables users to connect, share resources, and participate in events to achieve collective goals.
Client: Wequest aims to get people to connect around constructive projects, find and attend events locally, and solve real-world problems. It was designed partly as a Goldsmiths Masters Final project. Users add their resources to their user profile, post events, and indicate they have a need for a resource. The app notifies anyone else who has that resource to get involved. People can attend as learners, teachers, or just to help solve a problem. Named Wequest because obstacles have to be overcome to achieve the objective. 'Quest' nods towards help from unforeseen assistance. Learning is a by-product of the collaborative activity. Points and badges are awarded based on achievements, such as posting a popular event, participating in many events, and providing many resources. The contribution system is inspired by StackExchange, which awards and is moderated based on the quality of contribution.
