More about technology in general, but it does have some information about learning analytics and how they play a part in the world.

This article explains the point and purpose of researching how someone learns or operates and using that to create a system that helps people work or operate better. It talks about how if learning analytics is used right the expenses put in while be worth it for the outputs. In this article they put learning analylitics as analyze design develop implement, and evaluate.

Software system created to collaborate and interact with others and computers.

Learning analytics and personalization only begins with technology for "drill and kill" but certainly that is one place we should always use it, like this student learning spelling words. Article from scholastic about Read 180. "But while this student practiced his words, the most powerful stuff was happening behind the scenes. Out of eyesight. With every keystroke, the technology gathered data on his spelling fluency. It calculated how fast he was at spelling each word. It remembered what he got right and got wrong, and knew exactly how many times it had to re-ask the same word before the student really knew it. Every bit of data it collected would update and add to the student's personal learning profile - a collection of data the teacher could look up at any time to track progress and glean insights on the student's accomplishments and struggles, and that the computer could interpret and display for the student in ways that empowered him and showed him how successful he had been.

I have to admit that it was very hard to put into a few short words my thoughts on adaptive learning. I didn't really intend for it to center on the testing piece but I guess that is what the editors thought hadn't already been covered, although I do agree with everything I said on it. Of course, many will say we need much more than testing but I think the big point is that pencil and paper don't cut it. We are wasting time with how we test now and can be much more targeted in terms of what students know and how we can teach. Your thoughts? The biggest thing that bothers me about all these apps is that we have no learning analytics - no feedback loop at all to parents or teachers. I literally have to watch my son play his ipad learning games to really understand where he is and what I need to do to fill things in. 

The horizon report is out and will be the subject of our NetGenEd Project this year. Current trends: Time to adoption: One Year or Less * Electronic Books * Mobiles Time to adoption: Two to Three Years * Augmented Reality * Game-based Learning Time to adoption: Four to Five Years * Gesture-based Computing * Learning Analytics
