Augmented Education PlatformTEAM WEPATI SOLUTION

Problem Statement

Nowadays the model of education is limited in scope and efficiency: It cannot reach every person; it's limited by the number of intitutions and teachers.

Problem Statement

− The immediacy nature of the examination model, lacks the ability to efectively measure the state of the knowledge in time

− The knowledge can vaguely last in memory...

Problem Statement

●The education, because of its limited structure, reach a small number of people.

● ...then, on the number of people that the education does manage to get, the process is not enjoyable, so their attention is diverted, the knowledge is not retained over time, and therefore the human potential is lost.

A good Solution Would be

A lot of those people the education can't reach, is dying of hunger. It would be a good idea to give them a solution to sustain themselves, instead of being content with actual short term and failed solutions. So in this way they could be freed.

Our Solution is... PLEI!

A learning assistant device that aids the student in the management of knowledge.

● It personalizes learning: understanding the way the particular student learns. It will adapt to his needs and competencies.●Manages knowledge: keeps track of its status in memory, and reinforces it through games, when needed.●Augments education: offering explanations in real time, about any object/subject.

The base knowledge could be determined by a previous examination, during configuration.

Our Solution is... PLEI!

The device itself fuctions as a virtual learning assistant.

Never substitutes the teacher job, but support it.

●The device will be available for an affordable price, for the use of anyone, so classrooms are brought to poor societies...●There won't be monthly fees on this service

Our Solution is... PLEI!

The device monitors the status of the concepts that the student has seen, evaluating him through games.

Avoids forgetting, to keep knowledge in good shape

● Allows an enjoyable way of reinforcing knowledge into memory

What's Plei about...

●The main objective of Plei is to provide the student a meaningful support for learning, a way to manage and retain knowlegde.

We want to help students in their academic development:●Making more effective the learning process ●Augmenting their ability to relate concepts and retain information. At the time the student

attached the knowledge to their life, it's the moment he we able to create new ideas and generate solutions!

Antecedents

Currently there are devices to support management and exercise activities of the body such as miCoach, Garmin, etc.. Through these devices you can keep track of the performance of the athlete. While these exercise programs offer potential information according to the characteristics of the athlete.

Interactive blackboards of SMARTTECH, that allows educators and students to enhance the experience of interacting with more vivid images that respond to their interactions

Memrise, implements special techniques to help the users learn even faster by “using the very best science of learning and combined it with engaging, playful design to make word-learning fun, fast and exceedingly effective” (www.memrise.com)

What constitutes Plei?

1) A coaching device

2)A web platform through which these devices connect to persist knowledge and statistics of learning performance.

=The Best Educational Platform Ever

How it works? It works under these assumptions:

− Moore's Law mantains its validity, and computing power keeps increasing, to reach in 2030, ten times the execution and memory limits of today's personal computers

How it works?

Assumptions:- Internet becomes ubiquitous- Computers costs keeps lowering, and

based on Bell's Law on Computer Classes, almost every human could be using a computer by 2030

(The picture: “One laptop per child”Negroponte Project)

How it works?

Assumptions:

− Web 3.0 is widely used, and constitutes the paradigm of tomorrows web applications

− The way humans comunicate keeps mutating, based on new technologies available.

How it works? Assumptions:

− In 2030 we may have a better understanding of how memories are stored in the human brain.

How Plei could be used?

Students could receive a richer set of information from the class looking through the device.

The teaching device will be able to monitor the student performance and then reinforce accordingly by games.

Statistical information is stored in the web, to be accesible for planning purposes.

Why we Plei... knowledge become memorable!

Knowledge can last over time.

Almost every human beign can participate in education (Inclusive education)

●PleiPad will recognize patterns of educational content in contexts like classes, conferences.

●It will help to index the content pertinent and also to present it to the user in a good way, with the purpose to help him remember it.

●As well Pleipad will stored all the information that has been learned by the student. This content will be avialable anytime and anywhere!

Why we Plei...

Education will be custom adapted to the needs and rhythms of each person

The student will truly be immersed in the topic of the class. This technology will simulate real life in such a perfect way that the student wouldn't resist to be interested on learning

Why we Plei...

Fun + Interactive

Real life Plei Process:

1) A student have the PleiPad in class, he uses the device to understand the concept that is being studied during the class.

2) The PleiPad will work linking the previous knowledge with the new knowledge recieved, so in this way the student will retain most quantity of knowledge.

Real life Plei Process:

1) A student have the PleiPad in home. He uses the device to reinforce the concepts that were learned during the class.

2) The PleiPad will help the student to review knowledge in an enjoyable way. This is achieved by making appropriate suggestions to strengthen this knowledge to retain them in memory.

Plei in real lifeThere are 2 actual partners involved in various

academics levels to implement and apply the platform evolution.

Universidad Simón Bolívar that is currently working in the implementation.

Institutos Educacionales Asociados, is a school in which we are testing the platform.

Positive Impact Plei Platform will provide a

tool to make education reachable for the majority of people.

Plei will provide students a mechanism to augment their skills to solve problems, using previous knowledge in real life.

There will be equallity of chances to develope skills and obtain knowledge.

Positive Impact Plei will provide the means to plan education in

advance. The Pleipad will help to make the class structure more

dynamic. Classes would be constantly subject to the various changes that require the students. This dynamism will be possible through the statistical information.

Relevance Enhance Education is a global concern. Technology will be used for a good cause. Education is the key to improve society.

“The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed -- it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions.” ― Ken Robinson, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
