Brightspace LeaP is an adaptive learning engine that personalizes the learning experience by providing the right content and the right questions at the right time. By checking what learners already know and automatically recommending new content to fill knowledge gaps, Brightspace LeaP creates individualized learning paths to help each learner succeed in their own way.

We’ve invited Dale Johnson, Adaptive Program Manager at Arizona State University to offer a three-hour workshop on Adaptive and Personalized Learning at Oregon State on June 2nd at 8:30am in the Journey Room of the Memorial Union.
Dale will reprise a workshop session he developed for this year’s Educause Learning Initiative (ELI.) We asked Dale to bring the workshop to Oregon State specifically for our faculty and staff.
This interactive presentation will explore challenges and opportunities to consider when evaluating and implementing adaptive learning systems. He will outline the issues and share practical examples from the implementation experience with flipped classes at ASU. OSU participants will evaluate possible opportunities to use adaptive learning systems at Oregon State. Dale will share models of implementation, implementation costs, and other resource implications.
Learning Objectives for the APL workshop:

Kathy Becker-Blease is an assistant professor in the School of Psychological Science at OSU. Dr. Becker-Blease developed and evaluated a hybrid version of Introductory Psychology using an adaptive learning tool, and regularly teaches traditional Introductory Psychology sections with the same adaptive learning tool. Along with the graduate and undergraduate members of her research lab, she has conducted research on rural student success, scientific literacy for health information, a low-cost mindset intervention for large classes, and an analysis of how students use adaptive quizzing in Introductory Psychology (Becker-Blease & Bostwick, 2016). She is Co-PI of a multi-site, NSF-funded study of ways to improve scientific literacy in Introductory Psychology classes, and an OSU Ecampus Research Fellow working on a similar version for Ecampus sections.
The luncheon panel discussion will conclude two days of exploration and discovery about adaptive and personalized learning platforms. The discussion will be moderated by Lois Brooks, Vice Provost for Information Services and Chief Information Officer, Dave King, Associate Provost, Outreach and Engagement, and Susana Rivera-Mills, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies.
