Chapter 6: Conclusion and Future Works

6.2. Future Work

The experiments conducted showed that users accepted the system and actually liked using it as they found it an easy way to learn. This shows great promise and will be used as motivation to further expand the system. We see to further establish this platform as a Game based Learning platform. By coupling the high speed and low latency 4G networks with rich MAR interfaces, imaging technology and innovative story based activities, this system can be adapted to enrich the learning experience through game-based learning.

While we used some rudimentary mining of Social data (Likes, Shares), we found it to

be insufficient to be used for content ranking. With the option of data mining and extracting more contexts from Social Networks, we also wish to provide a more appropriate Social context to learning. We wish to explore the Social connections, Topics preferences and use it as a basis to add to this system, a Social Learning recommendation and ranking system where topics are recommended based on Social contexts such as connections, interests, likes, shares, and other social features,- etc.

Finally, we wish for this system to become a pluggable system whereby it can expose APIs, call-backs and other middleware features that will enable other learning systems to easily integrate this system within their frameworks.
