Course Requests, Khanmigo Features, and Motivation
I would like to see some courses for AP English Classes like AP Lit and Lang, as well as one for AP psychology. Another thing I would love to see is for Khan Academy to start branching out into more higher education levels of study, such as medicine. I want to see some anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, and maybe even some courses dedicated to certain certifications like MA, biotechnology, etc, I think it would be really amazing if courses from different niches and areas of study were added. It gives people the chance to explore a well made resource in a niche subject that may not be offered at their school but are still interested in career-wise.
I also think adding a chat history in Khanmigo would be really helpful. Sometimes I am working on a specific topic in science and have to do some math homework. Later when I come back to science, the page might have reloaded or Khanmigo forgot the problem so I have to describe it all over again. Also in that regard, having a way to upload images or take pictures of problems would be such a big time saver. I also think that one thing that Khanmingo could stand to improve on is its process that comes with solving a problem. It’s great if you want it to walk you through the whole problem step by step, but sometimes I just need help with one particular step. I get that it wants to avoid mistakes that may happen before, but in that case I think it should help me with what I asked first and then inquire what steps I took to get there if I did something wrong,
In terms of motivation, I think the streaks and levels is cool, but maybe adding more rpg style game elements would make it better? Like having customizable characters or maybe including like a little animation after you have done a set of problems based on your score. For example, you defeated an enemy or cleared a cave if you got a 4/4, got a strat h or minor injury with a 3/4, and maybe you lost some gear with a 2/4 and for 1/4 you barely make it out, and for 0/4 you died or something. I think having little gameplay elements or even just animations would fit what khan academy was going for with the levels and streaks.
