Doubtnut leverages technology to make education accessible for all. We have created an app using which students can ask study questions in math by clicking the picture of the problem or concept. Subject matter experts then create a Khan Academy style video to answer each doubt. Why video? Because in our experience as teachers/educators, we have seen students not being able to understand text solutions. In fact, around 30% of the questions asked on Doubtnut so far are actually solved examples from textbooks. The reason for this could be twofold: I. Text solutions are usually the most optimal solution, which might not be the most intuitive one. II. Also, the solutions are optimized for printing; hence, not all logic and thoughts behind the problem-solving are written. With video solutions, we try not only to find the answer but also to make students aware of the problem-solving approach employed by the expert. This will lead to a deeper understanding of the concept.
