Socratic, or Socratic.org, is an internet-based community, launched in 2013 by Chris Pedregal and Shreyans Bhansali, with headquarters in New York, United States. The aim of the group is providing easy learning for anyone with a computer at hand. The community is question-answer based, i.e. the information is delivered around an question done by a student, but provides the users the possibility to upload lectures, from Youtube. The questions are graded by the users, some are "featured," considered excellent answers by the group. The core idea of the community is "basic learning," as opposite to ResearchGate, which is a publication-based community, also question-centered to a certain extent. According to reference, in the upcoming years, nearly a billion students will attend to a middle and high school, and if recent projections are accurate, most of them will have a smartphone in their pocket, and this is the motivating rationale behind Socratic.
Currently there is a total of 18 subjects available on Socratic.org. Further, there is also a community based Q&A subject known as Socratic Meta available in the subjects section, whose aim is discussing the future of Socratic, such as new subjects. There are many more subjects that are yet to get founders to be graduated to beta version, they go from beta to a subject after receiving a proper attention. The founders are just Socratic users who are experts in that particular subject.
