McGraw Hill Education is a 125 year old education company with 5,000 employees that provides products for K-12, higher education, and professional learning. The presentation discusses how McGraw Hill is evolving from traditional textbooks to utilizing small data and adaptive learning platforms to personalize education based on individual student needs. Small data, defined as targeted analytics rather than massive datasets, allows for strategic use of learning data to support students and instructors by guiding students through curated learning paths and providing insights.
17. Small Data Allows Learners to Navigate
Their Own Learning Path Through a
Complex Knowledge Space
18. Flipped Teaching = More Student Centered
Lectures are done at home
Activity Focused Classroom
Actively Engaged in learning
Efficient
Teacher/Student interaction
Collaborative learning
More Time for assessment and activity
More Time for Questions
Deeper Understanding of Concepts
Traditional Teaching = More Teacher Centered (lecture)
Lectures are done in class
Bookwork at home
Students passively watch the demonstration
Students are guided rather than navigating

You know how sometimes instructors might say things like
Can I get a list of all the probes?
Can I turn off some probes?
Can I add or edit probes?
No! Because they are related to each other and are presented to the learner by adaptive algorithms
So what does this mean?
In order to determine mastery of a certain LO, LS will continuously adjust the difficulty of probes based on strenghts and weaknesses and will continue to do so until learner has shown mastery of that LO by succeeding in the most difficult probes
