Motivation
Oppia is an online learning tool that enables anyone to easily create and share interactive activities. These activities, called explorations, simulate a one-on-one conversation with an intelligent tutor. You can try a hosted version at Oppia.org.
Bite-sized
Explorations are easy to create and quick to play. They can be published in the exploration gallery, shared on social media, or embedded on your webpage.
Interactive
Oppia supports learning by doing. Your exploration can include embedded code editors, dynamic world maps, and many other options for interaction.
Adaptive
Feedback is an essential part of learning. The branching nature of Oppia allows you to respond to mistakes and address misconceptions as learners progress through an exploration.
Oppia runs on free and open source software. It is released under the Apache License 2.0.
Features
With Oppia, you can:
- simulate a 1-on-1 conversation with a tutor,
- give targeted feedback to learners based on their answers,
- leave feedback on explorations,
- embed explorations in any webpage,
- play explorations on mobile devices,
- make use of full version history (control of previous versions), multiple authors, parameters and analytics dashboards in the exploration editor.
Requirements
If you want to download the code and run your own instance of Oppia, you need to have Python 2.7 installed on your machine, together with certain other dependencies. Full instructions can be found on the developers' wiki.
If you'd just like to create an exploration, you can do so on the Oppia.org site (without downloading anything).
Contributing to Oppia
Oppia aims to help you learn everything you want to in an effective, enjoyable way. So far, we've developed a platform that allows people to create and share bite-sized interactive learning material, but this is just a first step. We're planning to add new features in order to bring you more interesting experiences with Oppia.
There are many ways to help! If you're interested, please see the contributor wiki.
