Allan Shaw's curator insight, April 14, 6:55 PM

"The shift is from learning content to learning how to learn.

The takeaways for teachers probably start with the role of the student in the learning process: voice, choice, personalization, self-direction, project-based learning, and other low-hanging fruit of current trends in learning.

Bigger picture, the conclusions are probably more directed with educational structures, the form of curriculum, and school design."

The micro needs to be worked on in school. The macro needs to be addressed by school and system leaders. Thanks Gust!

Via Ana Cristina Pratas
luiy's curator insight, April 13, 11:11 AM

BigML's predictive models will show you the patterns that are hidden in your data. You can adjust the granularity of the model by using the "live pruning" slider to prune away branches with less data, allowing you to focus on the most common cases, or explore fine details. Click on a decision node and follow the path to increasingly more specific cases by following the "branches" downward. See which values create the split points at every node. At every node, the model shows what the most likely prediction is.
