Abstract:
What is the potential of a 21st century education program? In contrast to the standard linear or tree-like educational system of sequential lectures or chapters, we propose the Curated Heuristic Using a Network of Knowledge for Learning (CHUNK Learning) concept, which is designed as a realtime, modular, adaptive teaching-learning method for enhanced and personalized education. CHUNK Learning breaks away from the predictable pattern of traditional education models and provides content delivery that adapts to the capabilities, learning styles, and approaches to problem-solving of every learner. With CHUNK Learning, students are empowered by a student-centered teaching-learning system whose purpose is to make learning efficient, flexible, and respectful of the students’ time. Much like a computer game approach, the learner maintains an on-line learning profile which guides the learner through a Network of Knowledge composed of lesson materials joined together by common attributes based on competency or skill levels. Our vision also includes a mix of different delivery methods, to include demos, videos, interactive applications, TED talks, webinars, programming languages (personalized to the skill of the learner), and data manipulations, all delivered through a combination of online and face-to-face experiences
