HarvardX Adaptivity Bridge
Realization of learning adaptivity and further effectiveness analysis can be highly time/effort consuming.
For example, implementation of content delivery adaptivity requires a lot of investments:
- instructional designer(s) time to prepare materials for different learning paths, different content preferences, etс
- funds that are needed to resolve technical problems:
- selection and adoption of adaptive engines
- synchronization of adaptive engines, content and problem sources, learning management system, internal HR/student register systems etc
Raccoon Gang partnered with Harvard to simplify and optimize the process. So following tasks were set.
The task was to create universal interface that gives the ability to use different sources of learning content that can be used for further usage by adaptivity engine.
The interface needed to be able to connect to any adaptivity engine that is LTI compatible. That was intended to save a lot of resources compared to current situation where content sources cannot be connected to adaptivity engine without additional effort.
Current situation is that additional effort needed to connect LMS with adaptivity engine that is tied to some content source (that is single and editable only with additional effort of third-party, again). The task was to enable the new interface to connect easy-to-change content sources and adaptivity engines
As a result we needed to have Adaptivity Bridge - the interface that is able to connect various LMSs, content sources and adaptivity engines, change/add any of them in several clicks.
We've built LTI-compatible "Adaptivity Bridge" - The tool that connects LTI-compatible content sources, adaptivity engines and LMSs
