How To Use
The main purpose of DataGrad is to integrate the services of various MOOC platforms , so that you don't feel overwhelmed to find the course of your choice!- The Landing page serves as your gateway to explore courses specially curated for you from three of the major MOOC platforms. The Sidebar/Navbar redirects to various sections of the application.
- As you visit the "Explore" page, you will have two modes of optimisation with you, i.e, Low and High.The default option is set on High, and you can alter it using the radio button provided.
- The High optimisation mode provides an exhaustive list of skills to choose from, in the selctbox, which are majorly related to the Computer Science and related domains ( we are constantly expanding our database, and currently the number of courses related to domains such as, Robotics, Electronics, Mechanical, Mechatronics,etc, are low in number). Further you are required to specify your level of expertise. The third field is an optional one, and it is your discretion to specify any keywords related to the skill, so that the recommendations for you are optimized by our custom Recommendation Engine running on the backend.
So, for example, you select "Cybersecurity" and "Intermediate" from the options given , and further specify a keyword such as "Network security"(related to cybersecurity), the model would get optimized and would try to fetch courses from all the platforms, to suit your needs.
If by any chance, the recommendations are not accurate, try specifying some more accurate keywords or even try changing the levels of difficulty - Moving on, if you intend to explore some skills apart from the ones given in the default options, the "Low optmization" mode is meant for you. Just select "No" in the radio button. Further, you specify the skill you intend to learn and your level of expertise.
DISCLAIMER: The Low optimisation mode is specially created for users to explore skills not given in the default options. Since our database is limited for now, the recommendations for some skills might not be highly optimized. - At the end, when you click on "Submit" , the Top 5 courses from the platforms appear for you to select from. Based on the Title, Course Description and its Rating, you can select any, and further would be redirected to the specific platform. Clicking on "Checkout More" option , shows course titles offered by the particular institute.
