[FREE eBOOK] How to Create an Impactful Adaptive Learning Program - Tesseract Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Adaptive learning is an innovative personalized learning methodology that uses algorithms, confidence-based assessments, and competency mapping in training and learning. Confidence-based assessments have become popular because they quickly assess the learner's understanding and provide the required remediation immediately. In an adaptive learning course, learners receive the same content, but with a different approach. Content is provided to them based on their confidence level for a topic. The ultimate goal is to help learners achieve mastery over the subject and to save their learning time.

Interaction in Learner-Paced Learning - CIDER - 0 views

  • 63.6% for the 2002-2003 period. Completion rates for the same courses offered in seminar format (either through synchronous technologies or face-to-face) averaged 86.9% over the same period (Athabasca University, 2003, p.12).
  • Nor do we know how to create and structure collaborative activities within independent study courses so that desirable characteristics of both collaboration and learner pacing can be retained. Further, we know little about demographics, learning styles, attitudes, or lifestyles of students who are more likely to appreciate and participate in collaborative activities at a distance.

  • We also posted invitations on 17 applicable listservs for non-AU faculty to participate in telephone interviews about the topic.
  • Twenty-nine respondents were interviewed by telephone, two sent their replies via email, and one participated through an online audio conference with the help of a translator.

  • cooperative learning, which is somewhere in between, in the spectrum of learning, individual and collaborative learning. Cooperative learning, in my opinion, is to work with others, but you are not really dependent upon their input to complete your assignment or to progress in your studies. You cooperate with other students when they are there, and they can have some input into what you are learning, but you are not really dependent upon them.

      implementation
  • I would write the task in slightly different ways. In individual learning, I would say, ‘Write down your thoughts on this and submit it to your teacher as an email.’ If I wrote it as a cooperative assignment, I would say something like this, ‘Discuss this with a colleague or a peer student. Using this discussion as a background, you should submit your assignment as an email to your teacher.’ If I should write it as the third alternative, collaborative learning, I would say something like this, ‘Contact a peer student and write the assignment together, and submit it as something you have written together to your teacher in an email.’

      differing forms of implementation
  • The respondent suggested that interaction need not be student-to-student within a particular course to be beneficial, but could consist of employee-employee or employee-employer interaction. Another respondent noted that a community necessary for lifelong learning has to exist outside of a single structure, stating: “Why should people want to be part of a community? I am not sure that course-based learning, unpaced or paced, is compelling enough to engage the learner in that context because the course is not the thing they are there for - the community is bigger than that. It is something that has drawn them into this

  • The respondents in general were experienced online and distance learners. The average number of online courses completed by each student was 2.1 with a range from 0 to 19. The number of courses that were based on self-study (that included older print-based correspondence model courses) was only slightly lower (m=1.9 range from 0-29).

  • 24% reported working with friends, family, or co-workers. The majority of student respondents (71%) chose not to participate in the interactive components of their courses, which consisted mostly of online discussion groups. Of the respondents who did participate in asynchronous conferences, 24% read or posted responses daily, 53% participated once or twice per week; and the rest only a few times during the course. Most respondents (79%) contributed 4-5 postings in each course.

  • 78% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that they would interact with other students as long as they were able to proceed through the course at their own pace. When queried how they would like to interact, 70% preferred asynchronous media like email and computer conferencing, 27% preferred a combination of synchronous and asynchronous technologies, and only 3% preferred synchronous interaction alone (for example, audio conferences or face-to-face interaction).
  • 95% of student respondents reported a desire to access the work of students either currently or previously enrolled in the courses. About 77% of respondents indicated an interest in accessing animated student-content interaction devices such as a “ChatBot.” Only 25% of students felt that participation should be graded.
  • 49% indicated they would not; 29% indicated they would; and 22% were unsure. When queried for the reasons that they did not wish to engage in collaborative activities, 58% said they preferred to learn on their own. About 25% indicated that they have a strong support group at work or at home, and 17% provided a variety of other reasons.

Online hiring challenges | Ways to tackle jobs | Pinhopes - 0 views

  •  
    Today employers face multiple challenges with traditional online hiring portals such as:

    ü  Escalating cost of accessing candidates database which is largely unused

    ü  Time-consuming candidate search and review process

    ü  Hard to zero-in on the right resource

    ü  Limited branding options

    Needless to say, all the above factors slow hiring online which delays bringing candidates on-board. To help employers tackle these online recruitment problems, Pinhopes - a new-age online hiring destination, has introduced innovative profile filtering features, video based online hiring process, multiple branding avenues combined with cost-effective payment option. Here are the key differentiators which help employers hire 3x faster:

    Get relevant applications from interested candidates - Every time

    Unlike existing online recruitment portals Pinhopes doesn't deal in database business which means employers are not required to search for right candidates, in a database which is largely unused. Instead employers get relevant applications directly from active job seekers for a job opening, without putting much effort.

    Blended learning is an important model of learning where large amount of knowledge and skill-based content needs to be imparted in phases and redundancies need to be avoided. I will share few examples of blended learning in this write-up.

It is likely that the implicit requirement for self motivation reduces accessibility to many students who have little exposure to, or sufficient experience with, programming that is not structured and orchestrated by a live (and often face-to-face) teacher. This challenge - to permit maximum student freedom, while supporting opportunity for community building and mutual individual support in cost effective ways - is perhaps the greatest challenge (and opportunity) facing the distance education community Page 1

There would also be a campus news feed, and features that current Facebook users would find familiar, such as the ability to give gifts (like a cup of coffee) to frazzled classmates.
