This COIL Fischer Speaker Series event explores the roots, current practice, and future state of Acrobatiq, a new learning optimization company created by Carnegie Mellon University, and informed by more than 12 years of research and practice from the Open Learning Initiative.

According to Acrobatiq:

"Acrobatiq represents a unique convergence of learning science, data analytics and courseware design, and focuses on how data driven courseware can accelerate learning in a variety of educational settings.  Acrobatiq’s approach is deeply informed by a fundamental commitment to the power law of learning and and cognitive science-informed modeling of learning data, allowing for precise and personalized estimations of learning for students, and dashboard visualizations for faculty. ​ While other platforms and courses may collect important engagement data, Acroabatiq’s cognitive models utilize learning analytics data, providing a significantly more nuanced understanding of what students are learning."

During this presentation, Eric Frank, co-founder and CEO, explores Acrobatiq’s recent progress in the implementation of adaptive learning approaches to improve undergraduate education.
