  1. Adaptive Learning: Personalized Designs for e-Learners(Using Psychological & Neurological Foundations)Margaret Martinez Instructional Psychology, PhD CEO, The Training Place

  2. Discuss new developments in human learning research. • Describe key online learning factors: self-motivation, self-direction, independence. • Identify critical links between successful learners, learning environments, instruction, and improved online learning and performance. • Offer strategies for adaptive learning environments and instructional solutions that support individual learning differences and supportive relationships. 2

  3. Adaptive Learning • The e-learning industry requires a more sophisticated understanding of the psychological characteristics of learning, especially the dominant power of emotions and intentions in learning. 3

  4. Psychological Terms • Affective - Emotions • Conative - Intentions • Cognitive – Thinking • Neurons and Synapses 4

  5. Limbic System www.cns.nyu.edu/home/ledoux/ 5

  6. Brain Research www.personalmd.com/news/a1999022213.shtml • The amygdala… • directs the cortex • arouses attention, influences perceptions, & stimulates emotions • modulates memory for events according to their emotional importance • influences responses and experiences 6

  8. Neurobiology of Learning and Memory 8

  9. Input of Solutions, Relationships, and Expected Outcomes Sensory Systems AMYGDALA Processing Systems Response Environment (Natural and Fostered Elements and Outcomes) 9

  10. Introduce the Whole-Person Perspective… • …considers the dominant impact of emotions and intentions on learning. 10

  11. Moving People Online vs. Instructor-Led Classrooms What does it take to foster self-directed, self-motivated, independent learners and learning relationships to make online learning really work? 11

  12. PersonalizationLevels • Beliefs, Values, & Personality • Whole-Person-Based • Cognitive-Based • Segmented • Self-Directed • Name Recognition 12

  13. Low/Simple Patterns High/Complex Patterns • Be Independent • Use Learner Control • Be a Problem Solver • Self-Manage • Self-Assess • Set Goals • Accomplish Goals • Self-Reflect/Monitor Progress • Interact with Environment • Use Holistic Thinking • Use Long-Term Thinking • Sequence Tasks • Depend on Intrinsic Resources • Explore/Take Risks C R I T I C A L S U C E S S FACTORS Conforming Performing Transforming

  14. Learning Orientations • Learning orientations describe common attributes about how learners generally • relate to their “system” • approach and respond to the environment, relationships, and instruction • accomplish results with some degree of dependence on internal or external resources 14

  15. Learning OrientationsFactors • Self-Motivation • Independence • Self-Directedness 15

  16. Learning Orientations Model & LOQ • Transforming Learners (Innovators) Mentor Me Rely on intrinsic resources to self-manage the surrounding environment—set long & short goals accordingly. 16

  17. Learning Orientations • Performing Learners (Implementers) Coach Me Rely on intrinsic/extrinsic resources to semi-manage the surrounding environment—set short, some long goals accordingly. 17

  18. Learning Orientations • Conforming Learners (Sustainers) Guide Me Rely on extrinsic resources to comfortably exist within the surrounding environment—set short goals accordingly. 18

  19. Learning Orientations • Resistant Learners 19

  20. Online Learning Five-Fold Focus • Learning Environment • Instructional Presentation • Social Relationships • Sequential Paths and Applications • Expected Outcomes 20

  21. Transforming Learners Prefer ... loosely structured, self-managed, mentoring environments that promote challenginggoals, discovery, andself-directed learning. 21

  22. Performing Learners Prefer... semi-structured, semi-managed, environments that stimulate personal value and provide details, tasks, and creative interaction. 22

  23. Conforming Learners Prefer... simple, safe, low-learner controlled, structuredenvironments that help learners achieve comfortable, low-risk learning goals in a linear fashion. 23

  24. Know Thy Audience • Identify key attributes that you can tap into for positive emotional response. • Define and support appropriate levels of personalization. • Develop supportive social learning relationships. 24

  25. Three-in-One Online Environments T P C Interactive Practice & Feedback Self- Directed & Exploratory Guided & Structured 25

  26. Conforming Learners 26

  27. Transforming Learners 27

  28. Three-In-One Instruction (Same Objectives - Different Approach) C P T Interactive Practice & Feedback Guided, Structured, & Explicit Self-Directed, Inferential http://www.trainingplace.com/source/research/designprinciples.htm 28

  29. Non-Traditional Strategies • Provide solutions that improve online learning ability, by helping students reflect on achievement, learning efficacy, satisfaction, and sense of accomplishment (towards future learning). 29

  30. And enable learners to... • Improve learning ability over time. • Help set increasingly challenging, difficult, and risky goals • Enable task sequencing to differing dimensionality (e.g., linear steps to exploratory hypermedia links) • Support increasingly difficult, long-range, and risky problem solving • Challenge more holistic, critical-thinking, & decision-making skills • Provide tools to help communicate more independently 30

  31. Summary • …align solutions with business [academic], learning, or performance objectives • …understand and support individual learning differences when it matters • …provide metrics to measure success and evaluate progress 31

  32. …use new technology to adapt: • Presentation • Environment • Resources • Learning Paths • Expected Outcomes • Required Relationships • …nurture the important influence of emotion on learning and performance 32

  33. …provide theoretical foundations to mass customize, socialize, and personalize learning relationships www.trainingplace.com/source/research/designprinciples.htm 33
