About the project:
The first new project which is being developed in the Structured Content area is Textbook solutions. In this project, the questions from the textbooks are digitalized, answered by the team of experts, and uploaded to the database via self-written CMS. In our web product and on mobile apps it creates a new type of a user journey - navigating students from a library of uploaded books to a particular book and exercises within this book. In the team you will be working on optimization of the whole journey, both in terms of the book upload - increasing the speed and the quality of content creation, and end-users experience - increasing the engagement and student satisfaction.
