Talk: Adaptive learning system and its promise on improving student learning |
| Zhen Xue, the data scientist at Yixue Squirrel AI since March 2018. He is an expert in mathematical modeling, having 15 years of experience in data processing and analysis. He received Ph.D. in high energy physics from University of Science and Technology of China under the supervising of professor Zizong Xu, then worked at BEPC national laboratory. He was responsible for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the luminosity monitor at BEPCII(Beijing Electron Positron Collider Upgrade project). The luminosity monitor was the first luminosity monitor in China that can measure the colliding luminosity bunch by bunch. BEPCII project won the National Science & Technology Progress Award (first class). Zhen Xue published more than 20 English papers in top journals and is one of the authors of the book “Beijing Spectrometer III” published by Shanghai science and technology press. |
| Talk Abstract |
| As AlphaGo defeated the world's best Go player in 2016, AI is brought into the classroom to individualize learning in the form of adaptive learning. It analyzes the students and note their weaknesses and strengths, then changes the course around so that students can polish up areas which they may be struggling with. Adaptive learning systems stand apart from traditional learning systems by offering a personalized learning experience to students according to their different knowledge states. Adaptive systems constantly collect and analyze students’ learning and behavior data, update learner profiles, then accordingly provide timely individualized feedback to each student. Such interactions between the learning system and students can improve the engagement of students and the efficiency of learning. As described in our published papers, we evaluates the effectiveness of Yixue Squirrel AI on subjects such as English and math learning in middle school. Results suggest that students achieved better performance using Yixue adaptive learning system than both traditional classroom instruction by expert teachers and another adaptive learning platform. |
