My interest lies in providing effective education (all levels really but primairly higher ed) for disadvantaged populations. In my 10 years experience with for-profit education I have found that one of the prime factors in keeping students motivated, learning, and progressing is student engagement.
In Paul's Design class last term I got thinking about how to use technology to heighten student engagement. The idea I came up with for the Design the Future assignment was a web-based interface to a subject, age and career specific database of "lessons." It's probably easier for you to have a look at the Prezi that I created and that may be found here. In a nutshell however, we would allow students to create their own curriculum based on an instructor or leader framework but unique to the student's career interests. Students would need to progress to a certain level of difficulty in order to demonstrate mastery of the subject matter and I would envision a type of an
adaptive progression model to limit frustration and keep the student engaged.
