    The AIM system (Adaptive Instructional Materials) is an indexed and annotated database of electronic resources that incorporates state-of-the-art examples of the core principles of How People Learn and Knowing What Students Know through action and activities for use in an instructional setting.

    AIM is designed to accomplish two primary objectives, to support engagement with the concepts and issues discussed in How People Learn, and Knowing What Students Know, and to support instructors with resources and activities they can use to create courses on those topics.

    The challenge in designing a system to support multiple goals and users with varying levels of instructional design and content expertise is finding the appropriate balance between being sufficiently open-ended to accommodate flexible use, yet be sufficiently constrained to provide coherence and meaning with respect to its intended uses.

    AIM integrates exploration of instructional resources such as case examples, illustrative video, and pre-rendered lesson designs with the ability to customize lessons and course plans.

    "The paper provides an overview and brings together the key
    messages and potential policy implications, showing how neuroscientific research is already contributing to education
    and learning policy and practice. The themes include discussion of lifelong learning; ageing; holistic approaches to
    education; the nature of adolescence; ages for particular forms of learning and the curriculum; addressing the "3 Ds"
    (dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dementia); and assessment and selection issues in which neuroscience might increasingly
    be involved. The chapter also points to areas needing further educational neuroscientific research that have emerged
    from the different chapters of the report."
