Potential Limitations of this Product

Learners will likely face the following issues:

  • Basic features such as textual prompts in captions and transcripts are missing making it inaccessible to learners with special needs.
  • Absence of explicit hints may hinder learners from coming out of stuck situations.
  • The games in the daily quizzes and challenges are not segregated according to grade.
  • There is no scope for social interaction, which is an important aspect of game-based learning. The product lacks standard features of game-based learning such as leaderboards, competitions (synchronous or asynchronous), team play. Hence opportunities to collaboratively build knowledge, seek help and provide peer feedback are limited.
  • The interface design does not facilitate error handling and reversal of actions.

Teachers will likely face the following issues:

  • The absence of Teacher support features could hamper the effective integration of the product into the teaching-learning process.
