I have no trouble believing this software works. More power to you for wanting to spread this technology!
It seems like a hard problem will be that the idiosyncratic curriculums used throughout the school system will make interoperability a challenge. Students won’t want to sink a lot of time studying on this software if it’s not directly helping them prepare for their exam in two weeks.
I’m sure it’s not insurmountable. For example, you could design a chemistry curriculum that’s focused on a particular textbook. Students could use their syllabus to tell the software the order in which chapters will be taught and what their upcoming exam will cover. Alternatively, you could do it by topic so that it’s divorced from any particular textbook.
I see your point students want to know that what they are studying will help them with a test. This is a problem in teaching. We teach to the book not to the out world experience. The point is hands on in actual doing to relate to the outside world in order to make learning engaging for the student. Go out into the world you’re not going to be given a test to pass with a grade. You will be given real world problems you need to solve a test won’t help you with that all it does is reinforce memorization without critical thinking. This is what education lacks, critical thinking. Take a student that knows math add world world applications to the math in order to solve a problem. Student will learn better, more engaged and have confidence that this works even when I’m out of school and can apply it.
