Very interesting article about mHealth summit and explosion of medical tech devices. Yet most innovations are for the consumer industry as opposed to the providers, who need innovations just as much. The regulations and approvals necessary for physicians is a huge hurdle.

The NYC Department of Education is challenging software developers to submit apps and games that enhance teaching, learning, and engagement for NYC middle schools. I thought this might interest folks working on app or startup ideas.

I was intrigued by Howard Gardner's comment at the end of his talk when he (to paraphrase) said that he thought "education" as we know it is coming to an end and being replaced by learning. That's the conclusion I have been straying to as a result of my coursework this past semester. Education cannot respond to innovations the way businesses do.

I was especially struck by the "take a pile of dirt" argument: new products don't require as long an incubation period as they once did. And so we're likely to see more and more untested ed tech options on the scene. That entrepreneurial spirit seems exciting, but the absence of research in support of any given innovation might also be something to be wary of.

Augmented Reality pioneers Metaio hardly qualify as a startup these days (being incorporated since 2003 and funded by a stream of project work from the likes of Volkswagen and IKEA), but they behave very much like a startup and are constantly inventing new systems for their considerable augmented reality SDK.

Brainscape: Learn Faster - Research - 2 views

www.brain-scape.com/...research.html

shared by James Glanville on 22 Sep 11 - No Cached

Confidence-Based Repetition These combined concepts of Repetition, Active Recall, and Metacognition work together to create Brainscape’s unique process of Confidence-Based Repetition (CBR). CBR acts essentially as your personalized knowledge stream, where bite-sized concepts are repeated one after another, in Question/Answer pairs, and then re-entered into the repetition queue in intervals based on your confidence in how well you know them. Low-confidence items (e.g. the 1’s and 2’s) are repeated more often until you upgrade your confidence to higher levels.

  "Confidence-based repitition" looks like the direct application of current thinking in neuroscience about how we learn. I wonder how well it really works? It's theory based but not truly field tested.....Not quite iterative research-design-field test-tweak loop Dock's Design course prescribes.

This is what some very talented current students at HGSE are working on. It's a solid plan, with a talented and diverse team of educators and media producers. And it's taking off! So heads up everyone. This is part of the next phase of your plan too ;-) Just look at the production value!
