Zzish - An Open Platform for Social and Personalised Mobile Learning

许多孩子觉得学习很无聊，他们投入的努力没有直接的结果。然而，领先的社交手机游戏利用社交游戏的动态和数据来激励玩家继续玩和提高。许多儿童还发现学校课程太容易或太难，因为学校通常采取“一刀切”的做法。然而，智能软件可以自动适应，以确保每个学生的学习都是个性化的，以适应他或她的能力水平。事实上，当你把一台平板电脑放在学生手中，给他们带来社交和个性化的学习体验，当你给老师和家长提供洞察力，让他们在正确的时间给正确的学生提供正确的帮助时，你就改变了学习。在应用程序中添加这些功能是困难的，耗时的，昂贵的，尽管有平台可以让独立的手机游戏开发者更容易做到这一点，没有平台可以满足移动的学习应用程序开发人员的需求。其结果是，大多数教育应用程序都是单人的，只有客户端的体验，没有吸引力，也没有完全实现提高学生学习成功率的目标。Zzish解决了这个问题。Zzish是一个开放的基础设施和工具集，供开发人员构建最先进的社交和个性化的移动的学习应用程序。我们通过让开发人员插入一组简单的API来包装复杂的学习功能，从而节省了开发人员的时间和成本。我们有六个模块：游戏化，课堂就绪，学习者洞察，自适应算法，应用分析和内容管理。我们提供Zzish学习中心，让学习者、教师和家长可以在一个地方收集和查看来自许多不同应用程序的学习结果。我们提供了参考应用程序的源代码，开发人员可以将其用作自己开发的起点，以及模板化的应用程序构建器和内容市场，以便几乎任何人都可以创建对学习成果有真实的影响的应用程序。

Many children find studying boring and see no direct result from the effort that they put in.Leading social mobile games, however, use social game dynamics and data to motivateplayers to keep playing and improve. Many children also find school lessons too easy or toodifficult as a “one size fits all” approach is generally taken in schools. Smart software,however, can automatically adapt to ensure each student’s learning is personalised to his orher level of ability. Indeed when you put a tablet in the hands of a student that gives them asocial and personalised learning experience and when you give teachers and parents theinsight so they can give the right help to the right student at the right time, you transformlearning.Adding such features to apps is difficult, time consuming and expensive and althoughplatforms exist to make this easier for independent developers of mobile games, there are noplatforms that fill the needs of developers of mobile learning apps. The result is that the mosteducational apps are single person, client-only experiences, which are not engaging and do notfully achieve their goal to improve the learning success of students.Zzish solves this problem. Zzish is an open infrastructure and toolset for developers to buildstate-of-the-art social and personalized mobile learning apps. We save developers time andcost by letting them plug into a simple set of APIs that wrap up the complex learning features.We have six modules; Gamification, Classroom Ready, Learner Insights, AdaptiveAlgorithms, App Analytics and Content Management. We provide the Zzish Learning Hub sothat learners, teachers and parents can collect and view their learning results from manydifferent apps in one place. We provide source code for reference apps that developers canuse as starting points for their own development and a templated app builder and contentmarket place so that almost anyone can create apps that have a real impact on learningoutcomes.
