Project description

DUGA is a training platform and consists of two components: (1) A mobile web app for smartphone use, and (2) a back end application to efficiently and intuitively enter questions and make them available for students.

At this moment, the DUGA app is already widely used at Ghent University where students can practice their curriculum in a fun way, responding to the current trend of gamification.

In this project, we aim to make DUGA independent of Ghent University infrastructure. With this project we want to approach potential partners both in academia and in a corporate context with the goal of increasing the involvement and commitment of their students / employees via DUGA.

The result of this project can be a spin-off, such as licensing for existing partners or a hybrid solution in the capacity of a joint venture.
