Η Google inaugurated today a new online training tool that called Oppia, one open source project (Open Source) to make it easy for anyone to create online interactive sessions. They are called explorations, and these activities can be built by many people from around the world through a Web interface without the need for programming knowledge.
Google says:
“Oppia is the modeling of a mentor who asks questions to the student to answer. Based on the student's answers, the mentor decides what the next question will be, what opinion to give, what to deepen, or whether to move on to something new. You can think of it as a clever feedback system that tries to "teach a person to fish" instead of just revealing the right answer or stating what is right and what is wrong.

Google also mentions that Oppia does more than all of the things we described above. It concentrates data about how the students interact with the project and offers them to the developers for further investigation so that they can fix the shortcomings.
