I really liked your pitches, Joyce! Very well done: detailed, creative, great design! However, I would not invest in this venture. I would prefer to invest in a product that has been developed already. I want to see it in action and decide whether it I think it is going to be successful and bring profit to me. Also, you are focusing on personalization and use two authoring tools (Articulate Storyline and Captivate) as competitors, where main focus is on rapid content development, not personalization, with a long learning curve. I think this may scare teachers away the moment they hear it. Although I worked on a personalization topic for our group project, and I feel there is a great potential in it, I think young learners may not know what they might be interested in until the opportunities are introduced to them. So, letting the system suggest options for young learners based on their current interests does not sound like the best possible educational experience for me.

Hi Galina, thank you for your comment. SAI is an e-learning authoring tool at heart which is why Captivate and Storyline were used as competitors, focus was on personalization as it is one of the main things that other e-learning tools do not offer. However, I can see it scaring teachers away and as Bryan pointed out, this is a product more appropriate for instructional designers than teachers. Yes, a demo to show the product in action would be helpful and I will include that in future pitches. Thanks!
