Access to quality educational resources is often hindered by financial constraints and health-related challenges. OpenLearnHub is an innovative online platform designed to provide free educational materials, categorized by school levels, intermediate courses, and engineering subjects. Users can access resources through manual navigation or voice-based search, making learning more convenient and inclusive. The platform features an intelligent chatbot powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Spacy, which processes voice queries to retrieve relevant textbooks, PDFs, documents, and lecture materials from a MongoDB database. Additionally, OpenLearnHub includes a Doubt Clarification Module, where users can upload doubts in text or image format, and other users can contribute by providing responses. This fosters a collaborative learning environment, enabling peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. The platform enhances engagement through personalized recommendations, interactive discussions, and AI-driven assistance, ensuring a seamless and efficient learning experience. Its user-friendly interface allows students to explore resources effortlessly, while community contributions expand the knowledge base for future learners. By leveraging artificial intelligence, cloud-based storage, and collaborative learning, OpenLearnHub removes barriers to education and makes learning more accessible, interactive, and efficient for all students.
