Create Exercise

Parents can create their own papers for their children by selecting the desired subjects, quantity, type, and difficulty level. After that, they can choose to either “Fast Creation,” which generates automatically, or use the “Advanced Settings” button to create the paper themselves.

By selecting “advanced settings,” they will be directed to the paper setting page.

Parents can add sections, delete individual questions, refresh questions, or add new questions.

Since this is an online platform, some younger students may not know how to enter text. If there are questions that require students to input text, an alert message is included in the confirmation dialogue. It suggests that parents can either export the paper by printing it out or revise the question.

Reflection –

To further improve the online learning platform, several enhancements can be considered:

Gamification elements to increase children’s engagement and motivation.

Enhanced analytics and reporting features to provide more comprehensive insights into children’s performance.

Collaboration features that enable communication between parents and children.

Mobile application compatibility for on-the-go access and convenience.

By incorporating these improvements, the platform can provide an even more robust and user-friendly experience for children, parents, and educators.
