From KnowQuest to RateXP, a Project in Development
Hello!We are KnowQuest.net, the world's first and only academic feedback platform. But we are so much more! We are also the most advanced feedback platform in the world, designed to be secure, to scale, and add value. We want to take the KnowQuest platform, and adapt it to non-education ratings such as Rate My Restaurant, Rate my Hotel, Rate my Venue, etc.How is it different than google reviews, amazon, yelp, and trust pilot? It is the only rating platform that combines Credibility Checking, Anonymous Ratings, Secure Data (i.e. we do not store or sell personal information, except for your email of course), and Homogeneous Ratings (i.e. more than just an overall rating, these ratings are detailed, but quick to fill out, and allows businesses to compare themselves to their competitors quickly and easily).We need your students' help to adapt the platform, and launch under RateXP.com

Number of Individual Positions available: 6KnowQuest.net is the world's first and only academic feedback platform.Our current platform uses PHP and MYSQL, as well as Laravel...and we need you to take it to the next level.We have an opportunity for 6 students to expand our markets, industries, and horizons, and we need your help in getting it done.We are shifting from academic feedback, to feedback in general, and adding more features and rating types to our platform.Our platform is called C.A.S.H.C stands for Credibility which is established prior to a user being able to rate.A stands for Anonymity, in that users want their ratings to be anonymous, and anonymous ratings are more honest...thus we aggregate all ratings...no comments!S stands for Security, in that users do not want their personal information collected, stored or sold. Our platform only uses school email addresses to establish credibility for academic feedback, but other feedback (non-academic) will not require a school email, and establishes credibility in another way (e.g. scan a receipt, scan a QR code, automatically after an online purchase, etc.)H stands for Homogeneity, in that our ratings are more than just "Overall" scores; our ratings include context, multiple rating factors, and standard for each product or industry. For example, textbook ratings require an ISBN number, the subject and level it was used in, the year and semester, and the cost to establish context...then the textbook is rated on its Effectiveness, Appropriateness, Visual Aids, Value, Overall, and whether the user will recommend the textbook for a similar subject&level combination (e.g. 1st year undergraduate accounting). This approach makes our ratings Comparable and homogeneous...making them more valuable and more informative.We want to build on the CASH platform and expand and improve our platform!Projects:- New User Interface- API- New Ratings Types (non-education such as Coffee, Wine, Restaurants, Food Delivery, etc.)- A basic app (perhaps using App Sheet?)- On-device verification

This means we anonymize users and aggregate ratings. This means we do not take, store, or sell personal user information!

Quality Care is something that is a result of a concerted and collaborative effort. We know that Care Workers are often underpaid, underappreciated, mismatched with clients, and required to travel great distances without remuneration. We also know that Care Workers almost never have access to Benefits, Insurance, and Pensions from the agencies to looking which they dedicate their life.Panion offers Care Workers benefits, insurance, and pension plans, takes less revenue, and makes better matches. Panion also lets users Rate each interaction for both parties, via our sister company KnowQuest (using KnowQuest's API).How can you help?We need your help in developing, improving, and optimizing our Panion platform! From design to databasing, security to deployment, this is a new endeavour and you can make a real meaningful impact on the project, the company, and the many many caring people in the industry that we will be able to give better lives and opportunities to!What is Required / Goals:
