Parents lay the foundations for success!

10. KNOWLEDGE for Empowerment
Growth through transformation of
“information into Knowledge” (iiK)
There are four main steps to learning:
1. Data – seeing patterns, hearing, guessing
2. Information- know vs don’t know
3. Knowledge
4. Creativity
*Entrepreneurship
Educators - Teachers

11. WHAT’S AN ENTREPRENEUR?

12. What is DATA ?
BIG into small
small Into BIG

13. ~100 years ago
Teachers instructed students with
books, chapters, pages

14. 3.4 Exabyte(16) of data is generated every day
This is the amount of data in a stack of CDs from
Earth to the Moon and back - every day!

15. Cognition and eLearning Gamification
A human brain can store ~ Petabyte(15)

16. Instructivism vs. Constructivism?
Remember what I told you What do you know?
A teacher from 1916 can still teach instructivism today!

17. Turning Information into Knowledge = iiK
15,400 hours personal investment (K-12)
13.9 Million grade 6 to grade 12 students = Kenya Future Productivity growth

18. SYNTALITY™
 Rongbuk Monastery Monks using Cadence
 How do people learn?
 Syntality = “An holistic approach to
Accelerated Learning by actively doing!”
(Active vs Passive (Rote) learning
 Classroom training
 300% faster with 80% or better retention
 Canadian National Research Council
 Developed an AI engine for accelerated
eLearning gamification of any content in
Real-Time

19.  1 Billion students and 300 Million DO NOT finish high school!
 1 Billion people studying English and it takes at least 300 hours to learn 1 level? Canadian
Language Benchmark has 12 levels!
 3.9 Billion Service/Industry workers and ~0.5 Billion unemployed?
 People will average 10.8 different jobs in their lifetime!
 Imagine if each person had their own personalized Artificial Intelligent Engine that enables
them to handle this onslaught of information; whether in school, office or life: 32% better, 3
times faster with 80% retention over traditional learning methods!
 Gamification taps into people's natural desires for Competition, Achievement, Status,
Altruism, Community Collaboration, and many more.
WHY THE NEED FOR GAMIFICATION?

20. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Gamification Generator

21. Features: Users can simply import, in various formats (i.e. word document, RTF,
html, etc) textual content they want or need to learn and the Gamification Knowledge
Generator™ application tools will automatically create interactive subject based
learning or skills training lessons, tests and subsequently, scores and marks all in real-
time. From 1 page of content over 1000 different exercises will be generated.
