  • Just as businesses use social analytics to suggest personalized options to consumers based on their buying habits, individual teachers can use learning analytics to help them develop adaptive, personalized learning plans for individual students.
  • The School of One program, in use in several New York City public schools, uses learning analytics to develop personalized mathematics learning programs. The School of One’s learning algorithm conducts everyday assessments of a student’s learning style and math skills, and uses this to produce a personalized learning “playlist” for each student. This playlist is comprised of individual lessons in math, which are put into the order that the algorithm determines is optimal for the student’s math skills development. Certainly, School of One is quick to note that this is intended to supplement, not to replace, an individual teacher’s expertise. Similarly to how Hunch focuses on social media analytics as a consumer service, other learning analytics programs are being developed for use by both learners and teachers to enhance individual learning. Socrato is one such program that is primarily intended for students preparing to write standardized multiple-choice tests. It performs learner analytics on students’ online practice tests to identify which areas students most need to improve upon.

    simSchool is a simulated classroom that supports rapid accumulation of a teacher's experience in analyzing student differences, adapting instruction to individual learning needs, gathering data about the impacts of instruction, and seeing the results of their teaching. This is a place where instructors can explore instructional strategies, examine classroom management techniques, and practice building relationships with students that will translate into increased learning. The results are highlighted below and are proved to be real and measurable.

  • But for ancillary materials—all of the research and items that go with the textbook—students prefer digital,"
  • Hall recalls this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where he had to meet with employees and be accessible to clients on the trade room floor. He had a case study to read, but an open laptop would have been rude and standoffish, he says.
  • Although students could take notes, highlight, and use a dictionary function, some said they were frustrated by the Kindle’s file management system and by an inability to easily skip back and forth between text and exhibits at the end. That’s a far bigger problem when dealing with dozens of case studies—which have numerous exhibits—than with a handful of text books.

  • One of the biggest obstacles to wide-scale acceptance of GBL in our classrooms is the lack of proper training for our teachers.
  • This is the area that most people think about when they hear the term “game-based learning.” This course is about evaluating all types of games to ascertain their relevance and effectiveness in student learning:

  • Online educational game “collections,” such as Primary Games Arena, BrainPOP, and zondle Non-digital games, such as conventional board games and card games
  • Having students design and develop their own games is a powerful way to have students learn not only about the technical and creative aspects of making a game but also about content-specific topics (such as history or math) that needs to be embedded in the game. Popular game creation tools include:
  • In this course, teachers will learn how to design and develop their own educational alternate reality game or other new media game that does not require programming skills nor a large development team to build.
  • Using game elements and principles to turn a class into a more game-like setting can be a way to help motivate and engage students. In this course, teachers will learn about the pros and cons of using gamification strategies, such as the use of badges and point systems, in the classroom or online course and ways in which they can implement these strategies.

  • Learning” doesn’t mean rote memorization—it means acquiring the skills and thought processes needed to respond appropriately under pressure, in a variety of situations
  • In addition, even the most comprehensive training program cannot cover procedures for every complex eventuality that we will encounter—no matter how thick the binder is. In game-based environments, we learn not only the facts, but also the important, underlying hows and whys. This understanding of deeper, more abstract principles prepares us to perform consistently and effectively, even in new and unexpected situations.
