The presentations will offer a variety of views from approaches that use Artificial Intelligence techniques to those that explore the adaptation of the physical environment and the use of human intelligence and crowd sourcing to help meet individual need.
Please see the demo descriptions for further information
"...we can design personalised technology which, courtesy of artificial intelligence, is sensitive to what learners know and how they work, and can adapt to optimise the feedback they receives. We are already used to computers that know our favourite websites, recommend what to listen to or read, and predict our text messages. This is just the tip of the iceberg: in the future, computers will know enough about us to offer a personalised learning, adapted to our strengths and styles. They can learn from us about how best to help us learn."
As previously, the event will consist of short presentations, then the chance to try out some of the current technologies and prototypes. The session will conclude with a facilitated discussion and will also offer attendees the chance to meet and to chat to like minded others and to the people whose ideas are behind the research.
Please see a report for further information you can also see tools at a glance and the report references.
This series of events is supported by the Association for Learning Technology (ALT), Intellect and BESA. They are organized as a collaboration between the London Knowledge Lab, The Open University and the Learning Sciences research Institute at the University of Nottingham.
These events are designed for anyone who is interested in helping to turn research into action through partnerships between industry, commerce and academia. Attendees will be able to hear talks, see research prototypes, learn about current research projects and findings and meet other like-minded people. They will also be able to shape the structure and content of future events in this series.
