Adaptive Learning Information Session for UW-Whitewater at Rock County on October 21st

Adaptive learning platforms offer a way to structure student learning activities and assessments to personalize the learning experience on how a student performs. The adaptive learning platform provides targeted feedback and additional learning material to help foster student learning. Additionally, adaptive learning platforms typically offer instructors analytics to closely monitor student progress and areas that specific students may struggle.

Cerego Logo

The UW-Whitewater Learning Technology Center is currently seeking instructors interested in piloting adaptive learning during the Spring 2020 semester. The adaptive learning platform currently being piloted is called Cerego. With Cerego, instructors can create content and, based on the students’ correct and incorrect responses, the Cerego platform determines what specific students need to study. 

Learning Technology Center staff will be at the UW-Whitewater at Rock County campus (HS0027) on Monday October 21st, 2019 from 12:00 to 12:50 pm to provide an information session on adaptive learning. If you are interested in learning more about adaptive learning, and the current adaptive learning pilot, please join us at this session!

If you have any questions about the information session, or adaptive learning more generally, please feel free to contact icit-techpilots@uww.edu

Spring 2020 Adaptive Learning Project – Call for Participants

The UW-Whitewater Learning Technology Center (LTC) is currently looking for instructors to explore the use of adaptive learning during the Spring 2020 semester.

About Adaptive Learning

Adaptive learning platforms offer a personalized learning experience for students, where the content “adapts” based on how students perform. The LTC’s current adaptive learning project focuses on the use of the platform Cerego.

Cerego Logo

Project Purpose

Participants in the LTC’s adaptive learning project will utilize the adaptive learning platform Cerego, which is designed to comprise roughly between 7 and 10% of the learning activities/assessments in a course. The purpose of this Spring 2020 semester project is to explore the new upgrade of the Cerego adaptive learning platform.

Project Requirements

Pilot instructors have flexibility in determining the course in which to implement the Cerego adaptive learning platform. By taking part in the project, instructors agree to fully participate in, and complete, all project requirements. These requirements include attendance at instructional development sessions with LTC staff.

The following semester-by-semester breakdown conveys the expectations for participating instructors:

Fall 2019
-Attend brief (~1 hour) introductory instructional development session with LTC staff (date TBD).

Winterim 2019-2020
-Attend one-day instructional development session with LTC staff (date TBD).
-Create content in Cerego adaptive learning platform to comprise roughly 10% of the course (i.e., not used as extra credit).

Spring 2020
-Conduct at least one course using Cerego adaptive learning platform.
-Complete “check-ins” with LTC staff.
-Support the LTC in administering an end-of-semester (IRB approved) survey about the course to students.
-Present on experiences using the adaptive learning platform at a LTC workshop or event.

Project Compensation

Instructors participating in the adaptive learning project will receive a stipend to compensate the work they put into their course redesign. If all required components are completed, participating instructors can expect to receive a stipend of $1000.

Interested?

The Qualtrics application form is available here. The deadline for applications is October 31st, 2019. After that date, LTC staff will be in contact with applicants.

Need additional information?

Please feel free to attend the LTC’s adaptive learning meeting in October! If you have any questions about the adaptive learning project, feel free to contact icit-techpilots@uww.edu
