Askii is an SMS-based system that allows adult learners to study for a certification exam while on their commute. When learners have a spare five minutes, they can simply text Askii to begin their customized lessons. Askii will respond with a curated set of questions and links to content that learners can study on the go. We have begun building this prototype for learners to study for the US Naturalization Exam and plan to expand to other certification courses. Askii is a prototype within the large Making Learning Work project.
