PERSONALIZED ADAPTIVE EDUCATION COURSE ADAPTING TO NEURODIVERSITY CONSIDERATIONS IN ONLINE LEARNING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17808324 titled 'PERSONALIZED ADAPTIVE EDUCATION COURSE ADAPTING TO NEURODIVERSITY CONSIDERATIONS IN ONLINE LEARNING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for customizing online educational course material to meet the specific needs of students with neurodivergent conditions. Here are the key points:

  • The processor receives a request from a user to tailor the course material.
  • It identifies the user's neurodivergent needs based on existing data.
  • It observes the user in real-time as they complete the course to identify additional needs.
  • It determines the user's preferences.
  • It generates recommendations on how to customize the course material.
  • It creates a personalized user interface for the user to access the tailored course material.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Online educational platforms can use this method to provide personalized learning experiences for students with neurodivergent conditions.
  • Schools and universities can incorporate this method into their online courses to support students with diverse learning needs.
  • Educational technology companies can develop software or tools based on this method to assist students with neurodivergent conditions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional online educational courses may not adequately address the unique learning needs of students with neurodivergent conditions.
  • Students with neurodivergent conditions may struggle to succeed in online courses without appropriate learning supports.
  • Educators may find it challenging to provide individualized assistance to students with diverse neurodivergent needs.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Students with neurodivergent conditions can receive tailored learning supports to help them succeed in online courses.
  • The method allows for real-time observation of students, enabling the identification of additional needs that may not be captured in existing data.
  • Personalized user interfaces and customized course material can enhance the learning experience for students with neurodivergent conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an approach for tailoring a set of course material of an online educational course to provide one or more learning supports necessary for a student with a neurodivergent-classified condition to succeed, a processor receives a request from a user to tailor the set of course material. A processor identifies one or more neurodivergent needs of the user based on a first set of data gathered from a database. A processor observes the user complete an unmodified version of the online educational course in real-time to identify one or more additional neurodivergent needs of the user. A processor determines one or more preferences of the user. A processor generates a set of recommendations on how to tailor the set of course material. A processor creates a personalized user interface based on the set of recommendations for the user to access a tailored set of course material.
