eLearning platform to check functional and expert knowledge using Gamificaton Ambition


There are lot of information sources but students don't have a place to check whether they gained functional or expert knowledge on something. E.g. a grade 8 students learn about how heart works, after sometime they or their teacher wants to test whether they knows it. They can log into our site and answer a structured question paper. Once filled correctly, the system renders a 3D output showing how a heart works. if they filled everything correctly they can visualize it. Visualization is the reward for hard work of gaining knowledge and applying it. This is seen in jigsaw puzzles. We spend time on it to see how it comes out finally. We enjoy them to great extent and we think others too enjoy similarly. This is the gamification aspect of the project. This is an assessment tool. Testing functional and expert knowledge. This can be extended to any level. E.g. Final year students can be tested on how software production environment works, even employers to check candidates knowledge about the work they are recruiting for. This can be used as a certification tool, can be sold to schools and technical colleges. Or, developed like Wikipedia There are so many sites which provide factual and descriptive knowledge but only few that are available for this "Assessing Functional and Expert Knowledge
