What to Expect:

What adaptive learning is and how it works

The basics of the platform: key features and the student experience

In this presentation, you will learn:

What is Adaptive Learning?

Adaptive learning is a personalized learning technology.

intellipath is the AL platform students use. It

Customizes learning for students based on their pre- determined knowledge of a particular subject or topic

Creates individual learning nodes, or lessons, for each student based on a pre-assessment. Nodes are lessons to help students understand each element in a specific week’s unit.

Allows the instructor and students to work closely together to ensure transfer of learning.


44

Five Unit Assignments in Each iP Course

Each of the five weekly units in a

course has a corresponding unit

in intelliPath.

Each iP unit contains

multiple nodes or

lessons.

Each node teaches a skill or concept to

help students successfully

complete that week’s work.

Depending on the student’s responses in the Determine Knowledge assessment, the student may be assigned 0 – 9 of the nodes.


55

How do students access intelliPath?Students enter their campus classroom as usual.

Once in the classroom, students click on the intelliPath link.

Getting started with intelliPath

Egg-shaped blue pointer indicates the student has accessed the first of five units.

Egg-shaped blue pointer indicates the student has accessed the first of five units.

Clicking on “Start MyPath” activates the Determine Knowledge dialog box/message.

Clicking on “Start MyPath” activates the Determine Knowledge dialog box/message.

After clicking on the intelliPath icon for the first time, students will see the intelliPath landing page for the first unit.

Determine Knowledge

1) Before students begin working on a node (lesson) in intelliPath, they should first complete Determine Knowledge.

2) Determine Knowledge is a pre-assessment that determines a student’s knowledge state in relation to the unit’s content.

3) The system will use the results of Determine Knowledge to generate a Learning Map exclusive to each student.

4) If the student does NOT complete Determine Knowledge, the student will be assigned all of a unit’s nodes and graded on his/her completion of them.


88

Determine Knowledge

5) A series of random questions is generated based on the comfort level that students identified with the Knowledge Slider.

6) There is no pre-determined number of assessment questions. Questions are generated based on the student’s knowledge level as revealed as she answers questions.

7) Regardless of where the student sets the slider, Determine Knowledge will continue asking questions until failure is reached.


99

After a student clicks onDetermine Knowledge

Students first see the Knowledge Slider. Students use the slider to indicate their perceived comfort

level with the topic.

After selecting their comfort level, students click on the “Determine knowledge” button to begin the assessment.

To Work on a Node (First Time)

1. Students click on the node they wish to work.

2. Students click the green icon to begin work.

The lock icon indicates the student should complete prerequisite nodes before accessing this one. However, a student may still open and work a node that has a lock icon.

Revising & Practicing Nodes

Graded Ungraded

Completed nodes can be worked at any time to improve Knowledge state. Student clicks on desired node. Options are to Revise or Practice. . Revise generates a new grade. Practice does not.

Current iP Grading (CEC)

intelliPath Grading FormulaintelliPath Grading Formula 50% - Amount of work completed50% - Amount of work completed 50% - Knowledge state50% - Knowledge state

1. Formula is being used corporation-wide and cannot be changed by individual schools or departments.

2. Percent of a unit’s final grade that intelliPath accounts for can vary from course-to-course.

3. Grading of intelliPath and entry of scores into classroom grade book are done automatically.

The Guidance section is the primary interface that students use to complete their intelliPath assignments and monitor their progress.

o Upon clicking on Practice, the Practice Activities appear. The number of questions and the content of the Practice is individualized for the student by the system.

o Allows students to improve their Knowledge State on learning nodes previously worked.

o Practice does not count toward a student’s Knowledge State score.

Send Message allows students to send messages to their instructors.

After clicking, message box appears.

Confirmation box appears after message has been sent.

Students click “Send Message” when finished.

o Extras provides an area for students and faculty to upload optional shared files as supplemental course materials.

o The Google and YouTube options place students directly into those applications and direct students to material based on the lesson specifics. Students do not need to search for lesson materials externally.

After pressing the Stop button in a node, the student is presented three options.

Exit: student must restart lesson from beginning upon next attempt.

Suspend: student may resume lesson at same point upon next attempt.

Too Hard: lesson is abandoned and student’s Knowledge State score changes based on what the system calculates the student knows.
