EdTech

As we add new features to our platform to make it an educational tool, such as live teaching, interactive whiteboard, cheating detection, we run into some issues integrating these features. These features need to be integrated in such a way that they do not affect the user experience and at the same time do not slow down the system .For everyday content consumers, these are additions for better learning experience, while any problems arise such as technical incompatibilities or disparities, people will get easily frustrated. Also, the development, enhancement, training, testing, and deployment of these features are labour-intensive and demand careful planning and quality assurance.

Such aspects as the introduction of gamification elements to increase user engagement and the effectiveness of learning processes will be part of our future plans. But in today’s world, we are struggling to find the middle ground between education and entertainment. It is a challenge to develop gamification features that also engage different types of learners and/or age groups. These activities include developing engaging narratives, selecting incentives and monitoring user activity. An important task is to avoid the components of the chosen gamification approach, such as points, awards or levels, etc., completely dominating the main educational objectives, which can only be achieved through thorough planning and continuous improvement of the chosen approach.

We face the difficulty of creating an environment that encourages global users to engage, share knowledge and collaborate effectively. Encouraging users to initiate and participate in discussions, form study groups and attend virtual events poses challenges in terms of cultural differences, language barriers and different levels of technical knowledge. In addition, maintaining a respectful and inclusive community atmosphere when moderating interactions is crucial, but also demanding.
