What If You Could Learn Everything?

Newsweek, The Daily Beast, 2013

ARTICLE SUMMARY:

Technology has touched, and transformed, every industry in some way; music, movies, print, travel, retail and a variety of other industries have been torn down and rebuilt in a more innovative way thanks to technological advancements. But not enough transformation has happened in education. A company called Knewton is using the same principles you already use on a daily bases, like recommended searches (other users have watched this as well, since you bought this you might like this, etc) to tailor the content, sequence, approach, and pace of information given to students. In this way, students get the most useful information to them, presented in a way that matches the way they think, pay attention and problem solve. With this targeted education approach, teachers don't try to move everyone down the same thinking sequence from step to step, but instead let them learn in the way best to them, and spend their time helping individuals with targeted problems. Fascinating ideas and innovation towards a smarter education system, read!
