What can we do with that data?
• Identify learners who need help– Simple or predictive
• Trigger interventions
– Via teacher, or direct
• Learn which interventions work
• Build a complete cognitive learning system
• Suggest resources or source of help– Learners like you found this helpful
– This person might be able to help you
