Questions:Do you accept the legitimacy of online education (why or why
not)? What about hybrid education?
New Opportunities
What if every student had a tutor?
• Adaptive learning systems mimic some subset of the teaching feedback loop.
• Some aspects are easier to mimic faithfully than others.
• Most adaptive software provides feedback to the teacher.
Mimic Factory ModelOne path, all studentstreated as identical
What I’m Not Talking About
• Expect software to magically create pathways for each studentPhoto Credit: route16.wordpress.com
Mixed-Type CohortCombine both

Mixed-Type CohortCould working adultshave been able to mentorand help high schoolstudents
Working AdultsSelf-paced is key, allow them to workin bursts
High SchoolFlipped classroom, in class support,teacher checkingprogress
Question:In your discipline, what are the key student characteristics that
might create the need for different pathways?
Question:If every student in your class had 24/7 access to a tutor, and those tutors got together and wrote a progress report for you every
day, how would you teach differently?
Teaching a Traditional Class
Question:What conversations would be ideal in your class? Describe those interactions in an ideal
world.
Platforms Matter
“The LMS is a remarkable phenomenon in higher education. On the one hand, the LMS has seen unprecedented adoption rates. Estimates of institutions running an LMS are almost always near 99%.2 According to the first ECAR survey of faculty and IT, 85% of faculty use an LMS (with 56% using it on a daily basis), and 74% say it is a useful tool to enhance teaching. Among students, 83% use an LMS, and 56% say they use it in most or all courses.3 In an enterprise as highly individualistic as teaching and learning, these are remarkable numbers. No other academic application comes close to such adoption rates.”
