  • METHOD AND PLATFORM FOR OPTIMIZING LEARNING AND LEARNING RESOURCE AVAILABILITY
    Publication number: 20130022953
    Abstract: A platform and method for improving learning within a learning model uses a mathematical optimization algorithm to maximize learning gains through efficient resource allocation that accounts for practical constraints, such as teacher or other resource availability, and probability of success for individual learners on learning nodes given learner profile and resource and instructional configurations. One practical output from this platform and method is a schedule that contains an assignment of learners to learning nodes and teaching resources by learning session over the course of several days.
