How can we predict student performance to give customised feedback?

pdf

Predict performance of students by analyzing historical and current data derived from learners, in order to create models that allow for predictions that improve the learning environment.

Co-create the future of education together with us!

Schools are slowly starting to look at technology as an opportunity to develop teaching methods and resonate with students on a technology level. Regardless of age, almost everyone owns a smartphone. Google is our library, and Wikipedia is our encyclopedia. Thesaurus is our dictionary, and Kindle is our textbook. At a time like this, learning to change our teaching methods by incorporating technology is the only way to bring light to the lives of our students. What are schools doing in order to bring about this change?

Why is it important to find a solution to this challenge?

Lifelong learning requires learners to be independent and thus requires extensive learner support. Being able to predict the performance of students based on the past and current data, provides a powerful tool for learners and learner facilitators to provide appropriate feedback that ensures a pleasurable learning environment as well as a higher success rate for the learners.

What is the possible impact of a good solution?

A good solution will assist the educators of Open and Distance Learning programs in helping students to achieve success.

What is the expected outcome of this challenge?

Tools and models for analysing and predicting learners' performance.
