2. Today, the internet plays a major role in our lives, and online studying is the latest trend among students of all ages. As students ourselves, we often come across situations where we have to sit up for hours on the internet to look for study material. Since online learning and discussions have become so prominent, they provoke more confrontational and direct communication The urge to develop a software that would not only gain us marks but be of practical use as well, led to the idea of developing a something that can be used by instructors as an electronic extension of their classrooms, and basically promote online learning and give each individual the same opportunity to speak up…we call it the new ‘Way to Learn’….
