“Activating prior knowledge helps students see the connections between previous learning and new instruction, builds on what students already know, provides a framework for learners to better understand new information, and gives instructors formative assessment information to adapt instruction” – https://teaching.vt.edu
In May 2024, NSF funded five investigators at three universities to investigate if prior knowledge delivered via adaptive learning platform systems works better than when delivered via learning management systems. On this website, we keep you apprised of our progress but mostly to share the resources for five courses we have developed under a Creative Commons license.
