Feature post by Clark Quinn There’s been quite the spate of discussion of late about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and adaptive learning. You’ve no doubt seen the commercials where Watson conducts conversations with talents from Bob Dylan to teacher Ashley Bryant, the latter in which great learning outcomes are proposed. And I think it’s important to … Via EDTECH@UTRGV

Through intuitive software and data-driven educational platforms, adaptive learning offers students an experience built around their individual abilities.

Adaptive learning has long been a part of education. The basic concept is simple: Coursework should be adapted to meet the individual needs of each student.

It's that time of the week to further our understanding of educational technology by learning the industry's 'jargon.' Let's add another term to our edtech vocab, and for this week, it's Adaptive... Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa)

Adaptive learning technologies may pave the way to a "pedagogical renaissance." Although still in the early stages, these technologies have already shown some of their potential, as fewer students are failing or dropping out of classes that use these programs.

I was honored to be asked by the American Federation of Teachers to write an article on what their membership should know about adaptive learning technologies....
The phrase “adaptive learning” is an umbrella term that applies to an incredibly broad range of technologies and techniques with very different educational applications. The common thread is that they all involve software that observes some aspect of student performance and adjusts what it presents to each student based on those observations. In other words, all adaptive software tries to mimic some aspect of what a good teacher does, given that every student has individual needs.

Just Enough, Just In Time, Just For Me: The Basics Of Adaptive Learning
Traditional education assumes that students by and large all learn in the same way: Start from Problem A and work on through to Problem Z. Bogged down on Problem D, a student will likely fail a quiz and scramble to catch up. Adaptive learning technologies work from the premise that there are other, more personalized ways of acquiring knowledge. Essentially, adaptive learning proposes that technology can be leveraged to mold the learning experience to individual students’ needs and learning styles. This style of teaching “tailors the educational process to the strengths and weaknesses of individual students,” according to education trends sites.

Types of adaptive learning
We all have experienced the difference between working with a great personal tutor and sitting through a mass lecture. Adaptive technologies personalize learning, so that on-line learning is more like working with a personal tutor and less like sitting through a mass lecture.

Basically, we have to shift education from focusing mainly on the acquisition of knowledge (the central underpinning of most adaptive learning software today) to the development of learner states of being (affect, emotion, self-regulation, goal setting, and so on). Adaptive learners are central to the future of work and society, whereas adaptive learning is more an attempt to make more efficient a system of learning that is no longer needed. Via Nik Peachey

CCRC conducts research on community colleges and contributes to the development of practice and policy to promote success for all higher education students.
Using a dataset containing nearly 500,000 courses taken by over 40,000 community and technical college students in Washington State, this study examines how well students adapt to the online environment in terms of their ability to persist and earn strong grades in online courses relative to their ability to do so in face-to-face courses.

Higher education is set for a shake up: MOOCs, For-profits, and Competency based learning are changing the way we deliver education, but Smart Sparrow's Adaptive Learning programs could make waves, changing the traditional model.

MOOCs and adaptive-learning software are often billed as two of the most potentially game-changing technologies in higher education. The White House, for one, is excited to see what might happen if and when those two technologies meet. It would seem natural to combine massive-open-online-course platforms, which accommodate thousands of students, with adaptive-learning software, which responds to the needs of individual students. But so far that has not happened. The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology this month wrote a letter to President Obama briefing him on MOOCs. In the letter, released on Wednesday, the group told the president that while “the jury is out” on the long-term implications of MOOCs, the scale of the massive courses could yet improve access to higher education while reducing its cost.

The 10 Most Important Emerging Instructional and Education Technologies and Concepts (2013 Update).
Each year I refresh this list, sharing my current perspective on those emerging technologies best suited to help engage students and improve learning outcomes in the coming academic year. The list has evolved quite a bit since last year as increased mobility and evolving resources lead the way to more self-directed learning and empowered teachers and students. I’ve also made a point of including Profession Development in the list, which is essential to the successful implementation of these technologies and can’t be overlooked!

For centuries, the landscape for arts education has had a certain unique niche that often has often consisted of the one-on-one ‘master & apprentice’ relationship between teacher and student. The necessity of passing down a craft has come from a few places, notably the economic need from working artists as well as he love and interest of the art from prospective students.

14 Technology Concepts Every Teacher should Know about http://t.co/MtLb8EId7O #ukedchat #edchat #education
So you are coming across too many tech terms that it becomes hard for you to draw clear boundaries between what each of them refer to. Well we do share with you this confusion and that is why we deem it important to put forward a list of the major and most popular educational concepts that are technology-related. The list below is a simple attempt to help you better capture the full picture of what all these tech terms are about by providing clear definitions to each one of them. If you like visuals and want to have a poster instead then check out this one HERE.
