Student-data-driven Learning
Maps & Useful Resources
Cognitive Maps
Gagan Annamreddy
What did we create and why is this important?

•   No personalized Learning maps for each class.

•   Teachers need to create maps for their course and validate the recommendations
    (One time activity for a course)

•   Lots of online resources for every learning path. Which one is good for student ??
    How to make the recommendation personalized??

•   Cognitive resource recommendation based on the search engine and teacher
    feedback. Eg. Search engines can bring all the top videos from KhanAcademy
    ,youtube, wiki pages, other online resources a learning path(Say 5th grade
    Geometry). Teachers evaluates these videos and rank them.

How did we validate the problem?

Research:
•   Google trend on the word Geometry. Lot of time spent on finding the right helpful
    resource for a learning path.

Leveraging SLC

•   SLC can help to store the learning maps and useful resources to the student &
    teacher data models.
•   Leverage the existing apis from KhanAcademy , learningregistry.org to pull the meta
    data of the useful resources on the internet.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Self IntroductionI represent the Gates Foundation, so I’m here to address the Philanthropy Perspective on education. I’d like to speak with you about the challenges in the classroom today and one of the specific initiatives underway to address it.[Stephen: Need to add some context language about how this fits within the Gates Foundations Next Generation models efforts and overall education initiatives – based on the topic of the presentation it will be expected]
