Here’s a summary update of my development of a behavior analysis tool to monitor automatically learning efficiency with Tablet and other mobile PCs in school. Please let me know if you have similar interests.
A Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm (aLEAP) illustrates relationships among ways people learn and reasons some instruction yields more efficient learning. It relates choice points and alternatives from which learners select vocabulary and logic as they adopt new behavior patterns.
aLEAP consists of three dimensions: a learners’ view, a hierarchy of learning variables, and performance assessment variables.
Future development will result in a heuristic of learning transactions. Education software developers and educators may use this draft to design lessons and the heuristic later to formulate an automatic analysis of learning with Tablet PCs. Researchers may use both to refine the fit of instruction to learning. aLEAP is a step toward use of these developments to increase learning dramatically, promptly.
