I read with interest the summary from John Medina's (Brain Rules) keynote at ISTE yesterday. He proposes a future where computers contribute to the analysis of learning and supporting learners. When talking about the idea he notes: giving computers (or software) the ability to perceive human comprehension by physical observation could be a bit too Orwellian for the average educator's taste.
I think there may be a middle ground--a technology solution that supports the human side of learning and teaching (educators) as well as the technology side. I think there will be advancements in classroom response systems that will take audience analysis to the next level.
At Acadium, we explore the interaction between teacher and student, trainer and trainee, presenter and audience member all of the time. What works? What doesn't? What would improve the experience?
All learners are individuals and the more we can tune-in and turn-on to their needs and unique gifts, the better we are positioned to support them.
Thoughts?
