Background and social problem:

In contemporary society, parents always encounter many problems when educating the next generation. For example, students have poor self-learning ability, poor learning habits, and low efficiency in doing homework。Therefore, there is a need to understand the influences of human factors to design digital learning environments that best suit every learner (Chen & Wang, 2019). Enhancing the fun and self-learning is the consideration of cultivating good habits for the next generation.

Research areas:

New learning styles of young learners

Idea detail:

It is a task box, which consists of six electronic screens.

Users can record tasks at each time of day through voice interaction. Tasks are arranged in the text on the electronic screen in the previous section. When the user completes the task within the prescribed period, the corresponding task on the screen will disappear.

The upper part of the box is an electronic calendar, and the color of the corresponding date part on the screen will turn green. When all tasks for the month are completed on time, the box will open from the top, and users can take out the reward gifts that parents put into the box early.
