2. Laboratory for innovation in digital technologies that • close the learning feedback loop using machine learning analytics and cognitive science • maximize learning throughinexpensive/open access to content and measurable performance data • capitalize on a large and growing user base • positively disrupt educational systems PK-20

3. cycles ofinnovation curriculum(re)design personalizedlearning pathways via machinelearninganalytics big data cognitive science research

4. personalized learning adaptation • to each learner’s background, context, abilities, goals closed-loop • students and instructors as active explorers of a knowledge space • tools for instructors and students to monitor and track their progress cognitively informed • leverage latest findings from the science of learning

5. learning principles retrieval practice • retrieving information from memory is not a neutral event; rather it changes memory • “testing effect” is robust and replicable spacing • distributing practice over time produces better long-term retentionthan massing practice • “spacing effect” is extremely robust and replicable feedback • closes the learning feedback loop • must be timely data learners content

6. data: standard practice

8. K-12 online science curriculum media-rich, low-cost(videos, simulations, interactive elements) officially adopted by the Texas State Board of Education for grades 5-8 #1 adopted, most widely used program in Texas > 450 districts > 40,000 teachers > 1 million students nationwide K-12 launch 2014> common core > expect 5m+ students

9. open accesseducation platform community content developmentenables inreachfrom shutouts Kitty Jones Sunil Singh 1-2 million users/month100 million STEM uses supporting Siyavula

10. open college textbooks • student debt >$1 trillion • library of 25 free college texts • positive disruption • at 10% market share, each year will save 1.6M students $160M per year (39x ROI) • 80 adoptions, $1M+ in savings in Fall 2012 • crossing over into high school and AP • sustaining ecosystem of 12 corporate partners
