This document summarizes a presentation given by Phil Hill at the eLearning 3.0 conference on May 14, 2019 about the future of learning platforms. It discusses how learning platforms are moving beyond just digitizing traditional classrooms and are now able to personalize learning through sensing student experiences and customizing content for each student. Modern online courses and platforms already implement some concepts of personalized learning but still have room for improvement. The presentation argues that technology can help teachers provide differentiated instruction informed by cognitive science principles when tailored to individual student situations.

robot tutor in the sky
that can semi-read
your mind and figure
out what your
strengths and
weaknesses are, down
to the percentile.”

28. "Technology can support teachers in the application of the
relevant principles across a group of students with high
variability. In fact, technology can help tailor lessons to the
situation in extremely powerful ways.
“The instrumentation of the online learning environment to
sense the student experience and the ability to customize
content on a student-by-student basis may be the key to
enabling teachers to provide differentiated instruction,
informed by a solid foundation in cognitive science. Modern
online courses and delivery platforms already implement
some of these concepts, and provide a framework for
others."
