Abstract
The increasing reliance on digital learning has introduced challenges in maintaining effective communication and collaboration among students. Many learners struggle when studying independently due to limited access to immediate academic support, while rising transportation costs reduce opportunities for face to face group study. Although online platforms are available, many do not provide a structured and integrated environment specifically designed for collaborative learning.
This study presents Learn Together, a web-based platform that integrates real-time chat and video conferencing into a centralized study space. The system was developed using modern web technologies to ensure accessibility, usability, and smooth interaction.
The platform includes features such as user profiles, study space creation, messaging, and a community ranking system to support engagement. Initial testing suggests that Learn Together improves communication, supports collaboration, and provides a more accessible approach to group learning. These findings suggest that integrated platforms can help address common challenges in collaborative learning and improve the overall learning experience.
