2. Why ChinaFlash! is needed:
Language Learning
• First demonstration: Mandarin Chinese vocabulary
• Teacher-led collaborative language flashcard game
• Enhances learning through physical exercise (Van der Borght et al. 2007)
• Matches best and worst performers, creates scalable learning environment
• HTML5 app / multi-device
Easy Data Analysis
• Scoreboard for student progress, competencies, response time
• Identified students in need of intervention
• Lets teachers monitor fidelity of information being transferred
Leveraging the SLC
• Gets teacher, student and class data, pre-populates class list
• Pushes results back into SLC student record
• Reports underperforming students in need of intervention
• Notifies parents of good and bad performance by text or email
