“Anyone who has ever been in a classroom – where as a student or instructor –
knows that not all students procced at the same pace.” <Tyton Partners>

4.
What is an Adaptive Learning?

5.
Adaptive learning is
“a more personalized, technology-enabled, and data-driven
approach to learning that has the potential to deepen student
engagement with learning materials, customize students’
pathways through curriculum, and permit instructors to use
class time in more focused and productive ways."
<Tyton Partners – Learning to Adapt>

Also adaptive learning may be a key (or hammer?)
to break “Iron Triangle”

7.
Some students response …
“The Impact of Technology on College Student Study Habits:
2,600 college students surveyed, 87% report that having access
to data analytics concerning their academic performance has
a positive impact on their learning.
Adaptive learning technology is reported by 75% of students
to be very helpful or extremely helpful in aiding their ability
to retain new concepts, and 68% of students report that it is most
helpful at making them better aware of new concepts."
<McGraw-Hill Education and Hanover Research>

8.
Reference Model Design for
Implementation of Adaptive Learning

9.
Two levels to adaptive learning technologies:
• the first platform reacts to individual user data and adapts
instructional material accordingly,
• while the second leverages aggregated data across a large
sample of users for insights into the design and adaptation
of curricula.

•Complete development for data capture API (beta version)
- collaborate with IMS Global, ADL and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36
* to improve efficiency of data sharing mechanism
• Complete development and deployment for test-bed of reference model
- complete test for open source SWs to organize optimized composition
- design interface for analysis algorithm based on R
* you may see on Github soon (github.com/KERISdev).
• Complete design for LOD of achievement standards
- to connect digital resources with specific topics of curriculum standards
* connected digital resources will be used ISO/IEC 19788 MLR (KS X 7001)
By February 2017
