The main problem we face is the language barrier between peoples. This specifically applies to EU as a multi-lingual community. Therefore, a well-balanced mix of active and passive learning is needed to help people learn while doing something else.
In a study published on Oct 19, 2018, Aura Interactiva company identified 10 necessary shifts of learning which must characterize modern education.
Worddio is designed to answer to (almost) all of these addressing the following three, we believe, main challenges to e-learning tools:
• Personalized learning - Necessity to shift from a fixed learning system to an adaptive learning path.
• Collaborative knowledge – opportunity for learning communities for teachers and learners.
• Invisible learning – adopting new learning mindset and creating a continuous learning environment.
The biggest challenge for learning a foreign language is time. Advanced online technologies provide many learning opportunities but all of them require 100% focus for a long period of time which many people do not have. Most apps and platforms compete in interactivity, however the more interactive a foreign language learning method is, the more attention is required for good results.
To solve this problem, we turned the flashcards that students often use to memorize words and phrases into audio flashcards and Worddio has become a great tool for learning new words passively and saving students time.
The uniqueness in Worddio is the pseudo-passive method of memorizing the auditory perception of words you want to learn. You can learn new words while doing something else, without touching your phone.
Through this method, the learner will also memorize the pronunciation in the correct way, spoken by a native language speaker.
We also believe that the way to go in today’s world of innovation is Artificial Intelligence. In our roadmap we have planned developing multiple features to reach a final goal: the ultimate hands free experience.
