CodeUP: A Web Application for Collaborative Question-answering System

Abstract

The majority of collaborative learning and knowledge sharing (CLKS) platforms are built with numerous communication mediums, team and task management in mind. However, with the CLKS, the Question-Answering (QAs), User profile evaluation based on the quality of answers provided, and feeding of subject or project relevant data are all available. QAs are required for online or offline cooperation between team members or users. To that purpose, this paper presents a web application called CodeUP with features like QA system, Question similarity testing, and user profile rating for boosting communication and cooperation efficiency in CLKS for academic groups and small development teams. CodeUP is intended to be quickly established and step for academic or development groups to collaborate. As the CodeUP application supports the CLKS, it is also an ideal tool for academia and development teams to perform computer supported QA system and knowledge sharing in the sphere of work or study.
