on-line eduCation ConCepts
9. knowledge Representation – in an educational context, knowledge representation underlies the ability to create question answering capability, derive summaries of material, and form the basis for automated tutoring systems (see adaptive learning technology above and Cognitive assistance below).
10. Cognitive assistance – learning support provided by computer-based reasoning, usually manifest as personalized guidance for learners in the form of responses to individual queries.
4. Content and Media Management Systems – as digital content has exploded, many enterprises adopted systems to manage and control the content used in their work. media management systems, pioneered by organizations whose product was digital content, are able to gracefully deal with the large file sizes of rich media, their complex intellectual property, and include many other features specifically for managing rich media.
5. Learning Management Systems – specialized content management systems which organize digital content for courses, support class discussions and interaction, and help with class administration.
6. Learning Community – this term was coined (or re-purposed) to describe an online community of learners, especially those that emerged as an aspect of a mooC or created by online class discussion forums in a learning management system.
7. adaptive Learning technology – adaptive learning technology refers to the use of educational engagement and performance data to adapt, customize or personalize the learning experience for a group or individual.
8. gamification – this is the use of techniques and platforms from computer and online gaming for purposes of education or problem solving.
t e n i m P o r tA n t c o n c e P t s A n d t h ei r d e s c r i P t o rs
in 2012 most of us learned that mooC was an acronym for a massive open online Course, an online course format designed for widespread access and consisting of online video lectures, assessments, and discussions. today, ten of the most important new concepts, and their new or re-purposed descriptors, include:
1. Learning object – a video lecture, text file, graphic or picture, game, simulation, or other item designed for presentation, and often interactivity, as tutorial or learning activity.
2. Repositories and Collections – a repository is a location where digital learning objects are stored. a repository may be indexed, like a library or archive, but is not necessarily structured for a purpose. a collection is a set of digital learning objects that is structured for teaching and learning purposes. a collection may reside in a single repository, in a set of links to digital objects not resident in a single repository, or be a blend of both.
3. Curator – the person, persons or organization responsible for determining what is included, and what is excluded, in a collection. like the editor and publisher of a reference work, textbook, or manual the curator of a collection bears responsibility for the scope, currency, veracity, and functional performance of the items in a collection.

system. in a decision support context, knowledge representation underlies the ability to create question answering capability, derive summaries of material, and form the basis for automated just-in-time learning systems (see recommendation engines above and Cognitive assistance below).
c o g n i t i v e A s s i s tA n c e decision support provided by computer-based reasoning, usually manifest as personalized guidance for users in the form of responses to individual queries.
s e A r c h A n d r ec o m m e n dAt i o n e n g i n e s (s i m i l A r t o A dA P t i v e l e A r n i n g t ec h n o l o gy )increasingly sophisticated search approaches allow an individual to access usable information in digital repositories or collections. a recommendation engine mines search and use data to adapt, customize or personalize the decision support experience for a group or individual. includes collaborative filtering: “others who bought this item also bought items x, y and z.”
g A m i f i c At i o n gamification is the use of techniques and platforms from computer and online gaming for purposes of education or problem solving. it is based on the recognition that computer gaming in all its forms (e.g. online, pC, consoles, casual, etc.) have tremendous reach in terms of usage, and the concomitant technologies of simulation, communication, shared objects, and data can be used to enhance just-in-time learning and decision making.
k n ow l e d g e r e P r e s e n tAt i o n based on a long history as a research field in artificial intelligence, knowledge representation (kr) focuses on machine readable representation of knowledge such as facts, definitions, relationships, causal factors, and implications. typically kr systems are able to use a set of facts and knowledge to derive new relationships or knowledge via a reasoning or inference
c o n t e n t A n d m e d i A m A n Ag e m e n t sys t e m sas digital content has exploded, many enterprises have adopted systems to manage the content used in their work. For basic content management, a very common system is sharepoint from microsoft but new cloud based models from the likes of dropbox, box.net, and google are increasingly popular. in content management, vendors abound as do open source options. media management has some similarities to content management but was pioneered by organizations whose product was content. now also widely used in marketing departments, media management systems are able to gracefully deal with the large file sizes of rich media, their complex intellectual property, the need to track derivative works, and include many other features specifically for managing rich media such as transcoding among formats and packaging multi-part products.
d ec i s i o n s u P P o r t sys t e m s ( A n A l o g o u s t o l e A r n i n g m A n Ag e m e n t s ys t e m sspecialized content management systems with search, recommendation, and cognitive assistance features (see below). decision support systems organize and present selected digital content as usable knowledge.
k n ow l e d g e c o m m u n i t y (s i m i l A r t o A l e A r n i n g c o m m u n i t y ) an online community that enables both peer-to-peer exchange and expert-to-learner exchanges. these are common in customer support, open source software, and corporate knowledge management activities.
d i g i tA l o b j ec t a special purpose calculator, video tutorial, text file, graphic or picture, game, simulation, or other item designed for presentation and often interaction as tutorial or just-in-time learning activity. a good example of a digital object for decision support is this new york times app for comparing, and learning about, rent vs. buy economics in residential real estate.
r e P o s i t o r i e s A n d c o l l ec t i o n s a repository is a location where digital learning objects are stored. a repository may be indexed, like a library or an archive, but is not necessarily structured for a purpose. a collection is a set of digital objects that is structured for decision support purposes. a collection may reside in a single repository, consist entirely of a set of links to digital objects not resident in a single repository, or a blend of both. uptodate.com is a decision support collection that provides clinicians with “medical knowledge at the point of care.”
c u r At o r the person, persons or organization responsible for determining what is included, and what is excluded, in a collection. like the editor and publisher of a reference work, textbook, or manual the curator of a collection bears responsibility for the scope, currency, veracity, and functional performance of the items in a collection. For example, uptodate “combines an advanced publishing platform with the rigor of a sophisticated editorial process managed by a faculty of accomplished physician authors and editors, renowned leaders [a.k.a. curators] in their specialties.”

set of objects from the collection, perhaps using suggested courses of study (from author). self-paced learning assessments are static and visible to all so instructors may choose to create their own assessments to determine student mastery.
an instructor can create a class of students enrolled in a course by providing students with a login to a class community that enables student-to-student and student-to-teacher interaction within a class. with permission from the enrolled student, an instructor has access to student use data (time on collection, objects viewed or studies, performance on self-paced assessments, etc.). the instructor and their parent institution are responsible for certifying student mastery and granting certificates or degrees.
instructor-created class communities are visible to the author and class community members have access to a forum where they can ask questions of the author, suggest or request revisions, and propose new material to be added to the collection. instructors who use the collection to support a course will be asked for explicit feedback on the collection during and following course completion. with student login, as self-paced student or as part of a class, the student can search and browse the collection or follow a path laid out in the curriculum guide, using the self-paced assessments to determine mastery. student login provides access to a student contribution forum for suggestions to author or authors. with professional login, an individual can search and browse the collection or follow a path laid out in the curriculum guide, using the self-paced assessments to determine mastery. professional login provides access to a professional community for peer-to-peer interaction and forum for suggestions to author or authors. using the knowledge map and tags, the search function will recommend objects as direct or related. with use by larger numbers of professionals the quality and depth of recommendations for in-the-field use will improve.
an author creates, publishes, and curates a structured collection of digital information objects related to continuing education and practice in a specific occupation or profession. these include:
• knowledge map (which represents the major bodies of knowledge relevant to the profession or occupation as well as relationships and dependencies among those bodies of knowledge) that delineates what is included in the collection and what available through links;
• Curriculum guide (which equates mastery of accumulations of bodies of knowledge and mastery, at different levels, of the occupation and profession);
• suggested courses of study• tagged video, audio, text, and graphical tutorial objects designed
to teach knowledge in the field (includes links to same)• tagged video, audio, text and graphical objects designed to
instruct or refresh professionals in the field about techniques or procedures (includes links to same)
• tagged video, audio, text and graphical objects that are reference documents or tools for professionals in the field
• tagged assessments for self-paced learners to evaluate their progress relative to bodies of knowledge or mastery (includes links)
tags for all objects are searchable, plain language use guides and/or teaching notes that are visible to all users. the author or authors curate the collection by:1. editorial decisions to accept or reject changes or additions to
collection of objects2. decisions to expand or contract the collection by new creation or
acquisition of objects3. updating the knowledge map and curriculum guide to reflect
changes to collection and/or changed practices in the field.
a continuing education instructor’s access to and use of the collection mirrors his or her use of textbooks, manuals, reference works, professional tools, and other supporting teaching materials. instructors create a course by structuring a student’s path through a

sys t e m
there is a need for a system that will increase value in
– selling
– improving
– training
• promote a repeatable common process
• be reinforced by oJt (on Job training)
• provide access to knowledge and information
• efficient way to work on far-flung projects
• attract the next generation of professional
e d u c At i o n
the eduCation component of the system should
• address multiple career tracks
– foundational
– expert
– master
• educate stakeholders/owners
• improve how the profession values programming
• Convey problem seeking process as a ‘decision support method’ that has application beyond architecture
– For example, ted lectures – why problem seeking is a useful tool
n e e d s
needs
• provide CertiFiCation – of pre-design capabilities that owners require
– educate stakeholders/ owners on the need for formalized credentials
– similar to leed accreditation that indicates levels of proficiency
– like “merit badges”
vA l u e P r o P o s i t i o n
the system should promote the value proposition
• For programming and pre-design services – measure performance – get message out – professionals (internal audience) – Clients (external audience)
• For the problem seeking method
– a thinking process that will give company a competitive advantage that is fast & economical to use
– that can be adapted to a wide range of applications
