Google Introduced Education Tool Oppia for Teaching Others

Google launched another interesting helpful educational tool name "Oppia", which can help users to create and customize their own online internet activities for learning and teaching, like webinars or a classroom. Currently, the project is an open-source project, and all its code and API are available for free at Google Code.

This is not the first time that Google has made a handful of stuff that is also for free, but earlier also Google has launched a Web designing tool for all users, via which users can design their own interesting and customized web design without the knowledge of any programming language.


Google describes the Oppia in the following words...

"Oppia does this by modeling a mentor who poses questions for the learner to answer. Based on the learner’s responses, the mentor decides what question to ask next, what feedback to give, whether to delve deeper, or whether to proceed to something new. You can think of this as a smart feedback system that tries to “teach a person to fish,” instead of simply revealing the correct answer or marking the submitted answer as wrong."

For this Google has also published a short intro video of Oppia, Do check it out. you will surely like it.
