Can algorithms shape online learning?
Filtered to showcase its personalized approach to learning at a webinar this Thursday.
London, 10th February 2014 – Filtered, the online education platform which maximises the impact of business training by carefully selecting the content most valuable to each user, is running a webinar this week to discuss how algorithms originally developed for marketing purposes can create a richer, more relevant experience for each learner during online training.
The webinar Personalization Through Adaptive Technologies is organized by Filtered in partnership with the Learning and Skills Group. Dr. Chris Littlewood, Head of Science at Filtered, will be leading the session just a couple of weeks after presenting a similar topic at the recent Learning Technologies Event.
Details of the session:
Algorithms are now widely used to extract insight from the rich data generated by website users. Their usage has spread from search, to marketing and retargeting; but can algorithms be applied usefully to online training?
Mr. Littlewood will draw on Filtered’s experience to propose some principles for the application of algorithms to online training. You will hear about:
- The use of algorithms to make online training more personalized
