This installment of aLEAP offers the abstract draft of this project that leads to an automatic learning analysis with Tablet PCs.
Abstract: 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 of learning, a hierarchy of learning variables, and performance assessment variables of learning. Future development will result in a heuristic that tracks learning transactions during a lesson. Education software developers 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. Bob Heiny
