CHRONICLE COMMENTER DEF’S:
1. Competency based: Focusing teaching and learning on concrete skills. See ‘death of a liberal education.’
2. Adaptive: Curiosity, imagination and critical understanding are reduced to rodent responses in an academic Skinner-box.
3. Personalized: Just another meaningless catchphrase for what good teachers have always done.
EDUCELERATE 2015 DEF’S:
1. Personalized Learning: products that modify path and progress conditionally, based on scoring rubric for learner performance.
2. Competency-based learning: a form of PL where a curricular authority designs fine-grained tests of topical mastery in a progression from introductory to complex assessment of understanding.
3. Adaptive learning: a form of PL where a curricular authority designs content and assessments, but with multiple potential paths, dynamically determined by algorithms informed by learner performance.
QUESTIONS
1. The role of educators as PL is adopted: Authorship? Teaching method?
2. The market for PL: How will the market develop? How large will it become?
3. ROI for PL: how should it be judged? Success stories?
