DESCRIPTION
Accella Learning, LLC offers products and services based on three innovative technologies designed and proven to enhance online learning and shorten the time to learner competency: • A newly patented adaptive content presentation system that provides the learner with content in a way that maximizes learning and minimizes the time commitment; and • A patent-pending electronic competency record that provides both learners and administrators with snapshots of the learners competencies, now, and, through predictive modeling, in the future. • Patent pending simulation technology that interfaces with a physical device and a learning management platform that uses sound output for commands and does not require downloading of special software or thin clientTRANSCRIPT

Background
Accella Learning is a Louisville, Kentucky-based technology development company with a mission firmly rooted in the application of technology to accelerate learning
Accella's content independent intelligent tutoring technology platform , using pattern recognition / filtering techniques, and an individual’s current competency, dynamically modifies the coursework to present subject matter in the formats and modalities that fit the individual learner's style of learning and competence in relevant domains, allowing for more productive learning in less time
Results of a two year study, funded by DoD, conducted at the University of Louisville showed a decrease in the time to competency among first responders using the technology
The Accella technology has been shown to be adaptable to both proprietary and open source learning management systems.

Benefits of Accella Platform Provides learning at the learners level—
teaching them only what they need to know Adjusts navigation criteria and curriculum
based on competence and performance Content presented in smaller segments for
enhanced learning and retention Adaptable to multiple platforms-PCs, Tables,
mobile devices Allows for integration of simulator devices
into courseware without special apps or downloads
How it Works Break down courses into smallest practical learning
units Determine core vectors of knowledge Produce multi-level variations of each learning unit Determine a learner’s level based on their
background Competencies, job, titles, education (garnered via survey or
existing competency records)
Assess learner’s knowledge Continually test for knowledge to affect navigation
and provide remedial information Ongoing maintenance of competency records Integrate simulator as needed
How it WorksLevel Select
Menu only shows course matched to the students level
Course can be any format-Supported by the viewer, ie – Flash, video,PDF, html, text, etc.
ITS Back-office Utilities
Modify affect of an individual test
Modify affect of background/competency
Modify the “retention” parameters of individual accomplishments (tests, reviews, prior certification) on level determination.
Back-office Controls(modify filter and ITS)

Use of Multiple PlatformsOnline LMS/ITS
System can contain each course in multiple formats
User can download select courses for proper device
Content does not have to be identical for each device
User decides on formats to support

Simulation Integration Modification/interfacing of physical devices
Current system uses sound output for commands Does not require downloading of special software or thin
client Easily programmed into courseware by content person
Integration with animation
Example: Geiger Counter Simulation for training First Responders
Web presentation sends sound/tones to our
simulator device, telling it how to respond to
various RFI information
Geiger counter transducer has RFI sensor in it, send
RFI data to simulator device
Doll with RFI chips embedded in
various locations
Simulator device translates/maps RFI data
to voltage level to be interpreted by the Geiger
Counter
Operator records Geiger counter reading and enters it into screen.
