Features
The operational features are :

Depending on the funds collected, the development of the following modules is planned :

- the MCQ module (Multiple Choice Questionnaire),
- the Certification module offers a combination of lessons and tests with the possibility of producing a certificate,
- the ‘Business Game’ module is designed to offer team challenges based on problems of varying complexity with intermediate stages and the acquisition of corresponding points. All the elements covered are in sign language,
- the assignment module allows to record ‘homework’ for a learner or a group of learners
All these modules are in sign language and in written language.

In 2024, we plan to contact a number of institutions to assess the possibility of deploying Sings Discovery in collaboration with one of them.
Cambodia
Sings Discovery is used in five specialised schools of the Ministry of Education.
The volume of the semantic network is constantly increasing: 6000 signs.
Other countries
Contacts are underway with Poland, Laos and Mauritius.
Niger and Mali : the project has been suspended due to security problems.
Cuba : after an initial contact and despite strong interest from deaf teachers, the project will not be continued, mainly because of the quality of the Internet in this country.
