  7. What’s next? • Extending the system to other Schools for trials • We welcome any collaboration! • Integrating the system with Powerpoint • For example, a software Plug-in for Powerpoint • Improving usability of the system • It must be usable to people from all backgrounds (especially non-CS people) • Our ultimate goal • Making the system freely available to all universities, colleges, institutes, schools in the world
