Potential Limitations of this Product
- The feedback quality is inconsistent across various topics which might be a hindrance to effectively grasp the concept, especially for a struggling learner.
- Learners might be disengaged when too many similar questions are presented upon making a few mistakes. Also, the inability to skip questions or even navigate to a different sub–topic might add to the learner’s frustration.
- The lack of a conversational or personalized tone in the language of the questions could also lower the engagement of the learners.
- The product doesn’t have sufficient mathematical tools for some topics where they are required. Having these tools would enhance the learning experience and lead to a better understanding of the concepts.
