Field 04

Education

How people learn, and how a system could notice.

The question

How should a learning system respond to the student in front of it, not the average one?

Learning is slow, personal and easy to damage. We study help that builds understanding rather than replacing it.

Programs

3 directions we are working on.

01
Adaptive tutoring
Guidance that changes with what a learner has understood, and stops short of handing over answers.
02
Assessment that teaches
Questions and feedback designed so the test is part of the learning.
03
Teacher time
Taking routine load off educators so their attention goes where it matters.
