New Alexa skill tests Kansas users about rules
of road
The Kansas Department of Revenue, in partnership with the
Information Network of Kansas, recently launched its “Kansas
Driver’s Practice Test,” the first driver’s license practice exam
skill made for the Amazon Echo Show.
The skill, which can be accessed on all Amazon Echo devices,
will equip Kansans to be safe and informed about the rules of
driving. While preparing users for their actual exam, this skill
will support their learning by testing their vehicle and motorcycle
knowledge.
“In a world filled with technology, government agencies must
strive to be at the forefront of innovation and create services
that help citizens,” said Mark Burghart, Secretary of Revenue.
“This skill can help new and experienced drivers and is just one
way we are working to meet the needs of Kansans and provide tools
that support our state.”
Auditory and visual learners may find this skill particularly
helpful. On the Amazon Echo Show device, Alexa will ask and show
the questions and answers. In addition, pictures relating to the
questions are showed allowing users the opportunity to create
associations while learning.
“People learn in many ways and creating a skill that offers the
audio and visual aspect was a must for us,” said David Harper,
Director of Vehicles. “I am very excited to hear success stories
from new Kansas drivers as they use this skill to help them
learn.”
The “Kansas Driver’s Practice Test” skill is available in the
Amazon app store. For more information, visit

A demonstration of the skill will be performed at the Topeka
Driver’s License Office at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30 by David
Harper, Director of Vehicles. The Topeka Driver’s License Office is
located at 300 SW 29th St.
