We started Onvard after discovering that certain topics, such as computer programming and investing, did not have easily accessible learning tools. We knew there were tons of free online resources, but we all encountered the same problem: it was nearly impossible to navigate through these scattered resources. We saw multiple layers in this problem. For instance:<p>(1) We Didn't Know Where to Start
There was no central place where we could begin online education. Google was only good if we knew exactly what we were looking for, but as beginners, we had no idea what to search and where to begin. YouTube tutorials posed the same problem.<p>(2) We Could Not Find Quality Sources
There was no way for us to distinguish the good resources from the bad. Even when we knew what to look for, we were forced to pick the first resources off irrelevant criteria - for instance, which website was the most visually appealing.<p>(3) We Wanted the Next Step:
Even after we had found a quality resource, after using it, we wouldn't know what to do next to continue our education. For example, after stumbling upon and viewing a YouTube tutorial, where were we supposed to go next?<p>These frustrating experiences led us to create Onvard, to answer the question every beginning learner asks - Where do I start, how do I begin, and which resources should I use?
