Zzish - An Open Platform for Social and Personalised Mobile Learning

许多孩子觉得学习很无聊，看不到他们投入的努力的直接结果。然而，领先的社交手机游戏使用社交游戏动态和数据来激励玩家继续玩和提高。许多孩子也觉得学校的课程太容易或太难，因为学校里通常都采用“一刀切”的方法。然而，智能软件可以自动调整，以确保每个学生的学习都符合他或她的能力水平。事实上，当你把一台平板电脑交到学生手中，为他们提供社交和个性化的学习体验，当你给老师和家长提供洞察力，让他们能够在正确的时间给正确的学生提供正确的帮助，你就改变了学习。将这些功能添加到应用程序中是困难、耗时和昂贵的，尽管有平台可以让独立手机游戏开发商更容易做到这一点，但没有任何平台可以满足移动学习应用程序开发商的需求。其结果是，最具教育性的应用程序是单人、仅限客户端的体验，不吸引人，也不能完全实现提高学生学习成功的目标。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移动学习应用程序。我们通过让开发人员插入一组简单的API来完成复杂的学习功能，从而节省了他们的时间和成本。我们有六个模块：游戏化、课堂就绪、学习者洞察、适应性算法、应用程序分析和内容管理。我们提供Zzish学习中心，以便学习者、教师和家长可以在一个地方收集和查看来自多个不同应用程序的学习结果。我们提供参考应用程序的源代码，开发者可以将其作为自己开发的起点，并提供一个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结果有实际影响的应用程序。

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.
