AI-Enhanced Flash Card Quiz Application for E-Learning

Background

A prominent educational technology company, renowned for their personalized and customized cognitive e-learning platforms, engaged our expertise to enhance their interactive learning tools.

Objective

The project aimed to create an intuitive self-quizzing tool that integrates with voice-activated assistants, specifically Alexa, enabling learners to identify and focus on areas needing additional understanding after their primary video training.

Challenge

The client envisioned a system where learners could engage with their IT training library more interactively. They required a Flash Card Quiz App that would utilize an AI-enabled Digital Virtual Assistant to help subscribers self-assess and identify learning gaps post-course completion, subsequently guiding them to relevant video content for further study.

Solution

Our AI specialists proposed a solution centered around the Alexa ecosystem. The developed app allowed learners to interact with their training videos and employ voice commands to initiate self-assessments. Key features included:

  • Activation through the voice command "Alexa, Start Flash Card Quiz," engaging the user with a warm greeting and instructions.
  • The utilization of Utterances and Intents to facilitate natural language communication with Alexa.
  • Delivery of a series of flashcard questions, randomly selected to test the learner's comprehension.
  • Upon quiz completion, Alexa provided feedback on performance and automatically recommended additional targeted learning materials.

Tools & Technologies

The solution leveraged advanced technologies such as:

  • Java for robust application development.
  • Alexa Skills Kit for integrating with Alexa-enabled devices.
  • AWS Lambda for serverless computing, ensuring scalability.
  • MongoDB for flexible data storage and quick retrieval.

Results

The client experienced significant satisfaction with the innovative solution, successfully incorporating it as a value-added feature for their existing user base. The app effectively bridged the gap between content consumption and knowledge retention, reinforcing the client’s position as a leader in the e-learning domain.
