LEARNING ANALYTICS THE EIGHTH FLOOR SOL TRAINING TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION IN THE CLASSROOM Will Richardson discusses this idea well in his blog post, Future of Learning (?). Its the idea of a learning assistant.Future of Learning (? As students age, data-driven, virtual learning assistants take on much of the job of providing resources and content based on individual interests, and needs, throughout school and beyond. As learners begin to explore topics through searches, these assistants, working off of a lifes worth of keystrokes, deliver the most appropriate content and connections within a few moments. If asked, they instantly plan a curriculum to learn whatever the student is interested in learning, and suggest the most relevant communities to join and experts to interact with. These virtual assistants are networked as well, easily able to find other leaners with similar interests or needs from anywhere to connect them and create spaces for collaboration and further study. Throughout the process, students earn badges of expertise and automatically publish an online, transparent portfolio of artifacts and contributions in order to earn their influence as experts.
