A decade ago, when I started doing my work in skills, I thought and designed concepts to allow learners to manage their tasks (learning) and monitor their skills. Finally, got to building and release an app that accomplishes this in Android, Microsoft Windows 10, and website application. The application is not perfected in the sense… Continue Reading
