Promoting Cost Effective Competency Based Education


IWSSIP is an international conference that brings together researchers and developers from both academia and industry reporting the latest scientific and theoretical advances to discuss and debate major issues and state-of-the-art aspects on systems, signals and image processing.

###### For the session discussion, each author will be seated at individual breakout tables.  Please find which table they will be at here:

Dr. Sonwalkar is regarded as a leading expert in the application of computers in education. He has extensive research and development experience in hypermedia authoring, mobile learning, adaptive learning, and brain-based synaptic learning, advanced scientific visualization, database management systems, and computer simulation.

After receiving doctoral degree from MIT in the area of Molecular Dynamics of Nano-interfaces, he joined MIT as faculty in Mechanical Engineering, but his passion for technology enabled education led him become the founding director of Hypermedia Teaching Facility (Hypermedia Lab) at MIT and later he was appointed as the Principal Educational Architect of MIT.

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar highlights the fact that the objective of a competency based education is that every learner is able to achieve cent percent competency as opposed to traditional systems wherein learners are bracketed into performance buckets based on the level of competency they could achieve.

The Outcome of Competency Based Education

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar briefly highlights the basic and mandatory competencies that every employer requires in current times. He further asserts that a competency based learning system would cater very well to the skills set requirement set forth by employers.

Confidence in Competency Based Education

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwlkar explains some of the biggest hurdles in the adoption of the adaptive learning platform. He believes that a blended learning system would initially help to bridge the gap between the old and new teaching methods which will eventually sow the seeds for the Adaptive Learning Revolution.

The Adaptive Revolution

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar explains the key elements of a truly adaptive system. He raises an important question that will compel you to think what real competency is or should be. A truly adaptive system not only presents content on the learner's optimum learning strategy but must also be able to assess the learner's performace as per his/her learning preference.

What is a truly adaptive system?

In this Q&A, Dr. Sonwalkar is attempting to answer some vital questions regarding the key differentiators in the adaptive learning platform space and the misconceptions about the technology.

Adaptive Misconceptions Introduction

In this Q&A, Dr. Sonwalkar explains the problems associated with 'predictive' adaptive learning . It is important to understand the difference between predictive and trulu adaptive technologies.

Predictive vs. Adaptive

Dr. Nish Sonwalkar explains why individuals have different learning strategies and therefore need an adaptive learning platform to learn optimally. To learn more visit: www.intelladapt.com

Why do we learn differently?

Archive: Wednesday, January 28th, 2015 | 3-4 p.m. ET In today's world of fast paced education technology developments the term adaptive is at best convoluted and worst misused. This webinar will provide a definitive guide of the principles that make technology truly adaptive rather than merely pseudo-adaptive. Additionally, this webinar will conclude with a guide on how to build your own Adaptive Digital Courses along the Adaptive 2.0 'Learning Cube' pedagogical framework. Whether you are a
