Scriptovia.com, a Seattle-area startup, announced the launch of its network that allows students from all over the country to collaborate and share resources to help each other excel academically.
“The site is very similar technology to YouTube or Flickr, but for academic documents. In the Scriptovia community, students can post their schoolwork – essays, class notes, lab reports, presentations, and more – so that others can view them, discuss them, learn from them, as well as critique them,†Aseem Badshah, founder and president of Scriptovia.com said.
Scriptovia.com’s features can be used at every stage of the learning process, from the initial discussion of ideas and gathering information, through writing up notes and redrafting, to sharing the finished project and getting comments. Scriptovia.com also provides similar features to other social networking sites. Scriptovia.com members can create profiles, can tag each other as friends, send messages, and provide comments.
