LEAP (Lifelong Education Access Platform) is an open-source, AI-powered community learning system prototype. The team designed the platform prototype that integrates personalized study plans, curated open educational resources, and an interactive community space. LEAP lowers barriers to participation by offering tailored recommendations and easy-to-use collaboration tools. Users can save and tag resources, join study groups, and track progress through dynamic learning paths. By combining personalization with collective engagement, LEAP enables individuals and communities to learn together, share knowledge, and tackle complex challenges more effectively.
