16. Questions:
Do you accept the legitimacy of
online education (why or why
not)? What about hybrid
education?

17. New Opportunities

18. What if every student
had a tutor?
• Adaptive learning systems mimic some
subset of the teaching feedback loop.
• Some aspects are easier to mimic faithfully
than others.
• Most adaptive software provides feedback
to the teacher.

20. Mimic Factory Model
One path, all students
treated as identical

22. What I’m Not
Talking About
• Expect software to magically
create pathways for each

23. Mixed-Type Cohort
Combine both
Introverts
Blogs, small discussions
Extroverts
Public presentations,
Centralized
discussions

24. Mixed-Type Cohort
Could working adults
have been able to mentor
and help high school
students
Working Adults
Self-paced is key,
allow them to work
in bursts
High School
Flipped classroom,
in class support,
teacher checking
progress

25. Question:
In your discipline, what are the
key student characteristics that
might create the need for
different pathways?

26. Question:
If every student in your class had
24/7 access to a tutor, and those
tutors got together and wrote a
progress report for you every
day, how would you teach
differently?

27. Teaching a Traditional Class

28. Question:
What conversations would be
ideal in your class? Describe
those interactions in an ideal
world.

29. Platforms Matter

30. “The LMS is a remarkable phenomenon in higher
education. On the one hand, the LMS has seen
unprecedented adoption rates. Estimates of institutions
running an LMS are almost always near 99%.2 According
to the first ECAR survey of faculty and IT, 85% of faculty
use an LMS (with 56% using it on a daily basis), and 74%
say it is a useful tool to enhance teaching.Among
students, 83% use an LMS, and 56% say they use it in
most or all courses.3 In an enterprise as highly
individualistic as teaching and learning, these are
remarkable numbers. No other academic application
comes close to such adoption rates.”
