1. Turn Key Adaptive Learning Solutions
Competency-Based Learning Activities Improve Student Retention

8. The Learning Science Approach

9. Perpetually Evolving

10. Heat Maps Generate Data
Authors see real-time data on the effectiveness of their content so they can continuously improve it.

11. Benefits of Adaptive Learning
Reduced attrition rates
Improved retention rates
Improved graduation rates
Reduced cohort default rates (when students graduate, they are employed and will pay their debts)

12. Main Talking Points Real-time, in the learning moment feedback
Adaptive is like a GPS (recalculating)
Safe environment to make mistakes until competency is achieved)
Bloom’s “layered” highlighting paired with “Practice” (helps students without study skills)
Biological Algorithms
Heat map based remediation
Value of Missed questions report for Faculty
Value of Missed questions report for Students
Value of Most Challenging Learning Outcomes

13. This is the sad reality, and our challenge as educators and educational institutions of higher learning.

14. Real-time, in the learning moment, remediation and feedback

15. Textbooks are written by PHD’s and peer reviewed by PHD’s but students with a 7-8th grade reading level are consuming the content. They need alternative ways to digest the content. And, we use HEAT MAPS to drive the remediation (if the majority of students in the nation are struggling with the concept, we NEED to provide them assistance, in the learning moment)

16. Student Assistance Built-In
Hints
Checking their work (real-time feedback)
Remediation to the book
Opportunity to make corrections before submission

17. “Hints” help the student make a connection between concrete and abstract

20. Students receive “real-time” feedback, promoting confidence and course completion

22. Interactive Homework directed to review content in the text

23. Adaptive Learning directed to review content in the text

24. Adaptive Learning directed to review content in the text

25. Adaptive is like a GPS (“recalculating” when you make a wrong turn or get lost)

26. 1. Individualized Learning Paths
There is no wrong path!

27. A GPS for learning content

28. There is no wrong path!

29. Traditional Learning First

30. Traditional Classrooms

31. How students feel once they leave the classroom

32. Traditional Class Assignments
READ THE CHAPTER BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS
ATTEND THE LECTURE
COMPLETE THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
TAKE THE CHAPTER QUIZ
TAKE THE MIDTERM and FINAL EXAMS

33. Traditional Reading

34. How does a student feel when they open their book for the very first time?

36. Where there are no laws, there are no criminals
