Always work hard

I have discovered that I am able to engage students when I ask them to think critically about the tasks they perform in their clinical program. Once they are able to think through the process and connect the dots, they have many "aha moments". Their motivation and confidence increase, and they are eager to undertake new challenges. I've discovered too that they frequently benefit from diagrams, pictures or alternative ways of presenting the same material.

I am going to use some of the techniques to try and help a family member with their schooling.

After taking this course I realize how important Adaptive learning could be in higher education.  I agree with how this could appeal to many different learning styles and how beneficial it can be to the masses, however I do wonder if we as a country have to begin this process in early education to get them interested and excited about learning.  I do think that higher education may be too late for some students to want to even go to school.

 I am interested if Adaptive Learning is successful, we can modify how we teach or what we offer to students on how to be successful, however people and their habits are not so easy to modify.

At the beginning of each term, I spend a few minutes with each student to gauge what there interest are, how they feel about the subject matter and so on. During the meeting I also ask if there are any challenges that they have that may impact their ability to have a sucessful term and if so, what I should know so that I may help them to succeed.

After the meeting I ask them to put in worrds a LETTER TO THEMSELVS outlining their reasons for comming this School, if there are any support systems that they would like… >>>

This module has continued to male me relevant in the classroom by allowing me to diversify my instruction and reach all students.  It allowed me to gain valuable suggestions to impact studetn learning and retention of information.  I have always diversified my instructional methods from powerpoints to group activities to youtube clips to engage students.  This has certainly helped me to recognize which studetns learn accrodingly and which ones need additional guidance.

and this days and age people with higher  education are changing proffession is and instryctor how we deal with students with hihigher  levels of knowllege

While the instructor is the facilitator, have students create PPT presentations and present with the assistant of the instructor. In some class, have students develop certain questions for an assessment.

One of my best practices as an educator is to provide a more collaborative classroom where students are the center and involved in their learning environment.

1. Place student in PODS or a group setting and allow them to collaborate with other students for feedback. I have also given students a group project or assessment where they are all involved in the course material.

What is the time frame to create the average adaptive learnign course

One combo that I've personally appreciated is the use of adaptive learning and the flipped classroom. The idea is that students did quizzed on materials before even coming to class. Then, classroom time is spent on application of the theories (using the faculty member more as a facilitator than a lecturer). This has worked extremely well in my entrepreneurship, strategy and marketing classes.

Good luck everyone!

The current stream of education is in a state of flux. Educators must address what their students need. Adaptive learning offers a realistic approach because it is encompassing. In other words, we need to take into consideration the students persepctive with the demands of the institution and employers, academic integrity, government, and the technological landscape.

Therefore, the one size fits all model for education should bee seen as a relic. Instead, the planning prior to teaching and course design are vital components the instructor must possess.  Moreover, we also need to see that our impact is in helping setting standards… >>>

I am constantly updating my lesson plans. If something dosn't work, I drop it and try something else. I also adopt methods from other instructors....

I have found that in the classroom some students catch on very quickly, while others take more time. I work to explain things differently to these students but sometyimes struggle with the quiet ones that don't ask for help. I worry that they will pay for an education that they don't take full advantage of so I try to draw them out of their shells and use the assessments to see how well they are understanding the material. Ultimately it doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as they get it.

I wish that higher education institutions would not have to deal with remedially inclined student populations. The building blocks of student success are laid down in middle school. Catch them early!

Every time I start a class I see many students who are not engaged and participating. There must be a better way to get students involved in their own learning, and it is now time to use computer technology and artificial intelligence.

 I wish our insttution would adopt adaptive learning.

I have students access building codes AS THEY NEED THEM for credit rather than give a print out with the codes and a test on having memorized them,  When they can look up the required clearances around a water fountain to accommodate a wheelchair then incorporate tht information into their drawing it becomes meaningful and gives them the tools to stay current with this information. 

I will check out these sites as well. As technology advances peoples outlook and values changes. Such is the case with the 21st century learners. We are now living on a technological landscape; hence the educational arena is adjusting to its demands. Adults who want to participate in continuing education are searching for an educational system that has immediacy, relevance, cater to their learning styles, and allow them to work at their own pace. Adaptive learning has many benefits.    

How are baseline learning concepts formulated?

a good support system is essential for implementing this learning system.
