Future Work

The study develops the system to help the learners learn international trade practice anytime and anywhere. Through the questionnaire, we know the problems of the system. The further studies will improve the following parts.

Firstly, we need to improve the communication mechanism. Secondly, we should adjust the flow of system. Thirdly, we must design more clear illustration for the flow of system and system functions. In the future, we will consult more professors of international trade to improve the system. Then, we will use the questionnaire to assess the system again.
