Predicting Student Success

SWITCH LANGUAGE:

How can we predict student performance to give customised feedback?

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.

What digital tools would help us get better in sharing learning units, such as interesting lab results and experiments, filmed study visits, interesting high-level advanced simulations etc, between teachers, towards and between students, over university boundaries and internationally?

How can you help other students succeed in a digital world?

Colombo - Making Learning Efficient

To identify and connect with the person who can offer the best help in a given scenario is a big challenge for any student. It could be a teacher, but in many cases the go to person is one of the students's peers. How can we improve this situation?
