In it learning is based on completing interactive exercises that correspond to the school curriculum and aimed at getting conceptual understanding rather that fact memorization. The tasks simulate situations from real life, which every child is familiar with. Dragonlearn.in builds a dialogue with the pupils. The system reacts to the students actions. If the student answers correctly, the system praises them and suggests new tasks. If they make a mistake, the system asks clarifying questions and help the student come to the right decision themselves.
