Use Cases
Adaptive Learning Tools
Decoupling Navigation from Course Structure
- Decoupling Navigation requirements
- MicroModules
- tags: discipline, skill or difficulty
- timescale: recommending no more than 20-30 minutes of material
- content: summary, video, practical work, self-corrected exercises, guidance, discussion forums, etc.
- quiz: should always end with an automatically corrected quiz
- Additional content
- added along with MicroModules
- assessments to assess and adapt: chapters, notes, exams, milestones, etc
- skill recognition and rewards: certificates, badges, percentage of completion, etc.
- Pathways
- composition: assembly of MicroModules + Additional content
- skills matrix: skills metrics associated with each MicroModule
- milestones: continual evaluation of learner's progress via self-contained evaluations (within MicroModules) or individual assessments (as additional content)
- MicroModule repository and catalog
- MicroModules
- Knewton's base-level Decoupling Navigation requirements
- Personalized Next button
- User identity could be "a data profile that spans multiple adaptive providers, aggregating proficiency, geographical location, profession, and modality preferences"
- Content identifier should be globally unique
- Versioning content depending on nature of change
Content Tagging
...
Flexibility - Abstracting out the taxonomy concept as a separate authorable entity in the platform
- Versioning - taxonomies change over time
- Multi-alignment - multiple taxonomies associated with a single course/library
- Portability - transport across MOOC instances
...
- Product memo with incremental needs based on Credo's work
...
Learning objective = what student will be able to do by the end of the module
Learning objective contains skills (sub-objectives)
Skill = discrete concept or knowledge component, actionable for instructors
OLI courses have 30-50 learning objectives and 100-1,000 skills
...
Resource Tagging (2014) for Open Learning Initiative
- Tags to associate with course resources in a many-to-many relationship
- Categories of tags
- Tags and categories have names and descriptions
- Tags not in tracking events, but sent with course exports
...
- OLI's learning objectives and skills
- MIT's Backstage with learning objective graph and relationships
- Content library filtering
- Adaptive
