My Goals:
I am interested in learning more about developing and using online databases to provide assessment questions and answer banks for curriculum-based assessments.
I would like to learn more about intelligent learning systems - how can we adapt these to help individualize student instruction? I would like for each student to have a "prescription for learning" where they can work at their own pace through the required topics for each subject.
