Educational Content Development Process in
"CleverUniversity": Our Dynamic Adaptive Hypermedia
Environment

This is a pretty good paper, though readers will no doubt
find significant flaws. The authors propose an architecture
for a CleverUniversity learning management system based on
modeling and then matching resources across three sets of
models: the domain model, which classifies and orders the
subject of enquiry; the learner's model, which classifies
learning styles, and the pedagogic model, which proposes a
set of teaching frameworks. Now none of these models is
without problems (I have argued
Linkin the past that the
model is just the wrong sort of approach for this sort of
work). But surely the mapping across these three dimensions
isn't flawed, not even (and perhaps especially not) for
informal and self-directed learning. By the same authors
see also this article
Linkon learning
styles and this article

on learner models.

Frederick County’s Call to Administrators: Focus on the
“Innovator†and “Early Adopter†Teachers, First
,
-------------------------------------------------------------

I am asked this question a lot: how do we convince staff in
our institution or district to adopt an innovation? This
article describes exactly the response I give: focus on the
early adopters and enthusiasts, support them by bringing
them together and providing resources, and have them serve
as the model and insiration for the remainder of the staff.
It's only when people decide for themselves to implement
change that new technology or processes can be implemented.
Sure, you can force people to comply, but you can't force
innovation and enthusiasm. Related: Change takes time

These developments usually ripple into education. "Mobile
commerce will be colossal using bots," said David Jones,
former Havas global CEO and founder of You & Mr Jones.
"In 12 months there will be thousands of these. Traditional
ads can cost thousands per click -- this is a conversation
on Kik." Take a teaching chatbot, give it the background
intelligence of something like Wolfram Alpha
Linkand you have a wonderful
teaching tool for young learners.
