Adaptive Training
Adaptive training refers to training that customizes or adapts the content presented to trainees based on their learning style, ability, personality, or performance. These adaptations include the variety, difficulty, and sequencing of content as well as practice problems. In adaptive training, instruction changes based on trainees’ scores on tests or quizzes completed either before training or at various times as they experience training. This assessment results in adaptations of the content to best help the trainee learn. Although trainers strive to meet the individual needs of learners, this can be difficult using face-to-face training methods. Online training makes it easier to use ongoing assessments to identify the most effective instructional pathways for learners. The major challenge in developing adaptive training is to ensure that the different content customizations match learners’ needs and help them attain the learning objectives.
For example, LearnSmart is an interactive and adaptive study tool that is used in some college courses. Based on their performance on quizzes throughout the course, students are directed to practice exercises and sections of onlinetextbooks they need to read. LearnSmart is designed to help students better use their study time, as well as improve their retention, their recall of the material, and their grades. Aristocrat Technologies, a gaming machine manufacturer, has replaced online learning courses for its repair technicians with adaptable microlearning modules. The modules are sent to their phones so they can review the content between their jobs and answer short quiz questions. The system uses their quiz scores to learn what they know (and don’t know) and uses this information to choose what content to send them next. Technicians have to master each module twice before they can move on to another module. Technicians’ success rates on the modules are tracked, which allows the learning manager to identify where they might need more additional training. For example, the learning manager saw that the majority of technicians were having difficulty correctly answering a set of questions related to meter-reading, which is a skill they are expected to learn on the job. The meter-reading scores were found to be related to error rates on the job, suggesting a knowledge gap that needed to be corrected. As a result, the learning manager added a meter-reading course for all new hires.
Adaptive training also includes intelligent tutoring systems that use artificial intelligence. Air Methods, a company that provides medical transportation using helicopters, implemented a cloud-based learning system that uses artificial intelligence to adapt to each helicopter pilot’s topic knowledge based on how they perform on quizzes and games. If the pilot is not scoring well on the quizzes for a particular training module, the system will present information in a new way and retest the pilot before he or she can move to the next training module. The use of adaptive training has saved training costs by eliminating 50 percent of the company’s in-person instructor-led training courses and reducing the training time required by new pilots as part of the onboarding process.
Based on the above information, recall a recent training class that you have successfully completed. (Or, if your recent training class was quite awhile back, select a favorite one that you remember.)
Considering this training event, did it use an adaptive training methodology? If so, what were the positive aspects of the training? Why? What were the negative aspects of the training? Why?
If this training event did not use an adaptive training methodology, how could the training session have been improved through the use of such a method? Why? What would be your recommendations? Why? Consider as a part of your response completing the following sentence. “If this training course was mine to design, present and facilitate, I would…”
Provide your initial response in an audio format or a video format (Make use of Kaltura). Then, your remaining two responses may be text-based. Remember, your remaining responses must be on different days in order to earn full credit.

In this chapter, Rosenblatt contemplates the terminal stakes of fighting, threading in anecdotes of fighters deaths and his fathers death with Benedictine poetry and even Dr. Frankenstein. Please FORWARD and COUNTER different sources in this conversation.
*Remember the four kinds of forwarding (authorize, illustrate, borrow, expand) and that a counter invokes a naysayer to the argument
Editing
Please post your discussion essay and comments as REPLIES (below) rather than starting a new discussion thread or posting an attachment.
(I suggest composing your essay in a word-processing program first and then cutting and pasting the text box below.)
Its a good idea to remember that in an online course, discussion essays and written work are your chance to show off what you’re learning. Since I don’t see you in a classroom taking notes and asking questions, these are your primary ways to demonstrate your hard work and to earn the grade you want in the class.
DISCUSSION POST:
Preparation:
1) Click on Every Cut a Weapon: Martin Scorcese on the Editing of PSYCHO. (Links to an external site.) (https://nofilmschool.com/2016/02/every-cut-weapon-martin-scorsese-editing-psycho)Read the page, and watch and study the videos it contains.
2) Then watch the famous shower scene from PSYCHO.
Assignment prompt: In a brief 750-word essay (minimumit may need to be longer to cover the topic in sufficient detail), summarize the main focus of the web page as a whole, Scorceses points about Hitchcocks editing, and Hitchcocks own comments about the editing in PSYCHO. To what extent do you feel the shower sequence in particular participates in and departs from the specific techniques and transitions of continuity editing, as defined in your textbook? How and why?
Remember that you should write formally. Include a thesis at the beginning of your essay, define terms very specifically, defining and referring to the language of the textbook and course videos before you start applying them to the film, and support your observations with specific examples from the film and the textbook. The more specific you can be, the better. Give page numbers if you cite or quote the textbook.
COMMENT POSTS: In another message, comment on what another classmate posted, referring to the student by name. (Each comment should be at least 75 words.) Reply to a different student than those you responded to in Discussions 1 – 3. Your comment will be assessed according to the quality of its interaction with others; thoughtfulness; being informed; respectfulwhile still being rigorous and analytical.
Known as the inventor of modern management, Peter Drucker first wrote of the deadly sins of public administration in 1980, where he outlined six things that organizations can do to guarantee non-performance (guaranteed failure if committing two or more of the following):
1. Have a lofty objective, such as a purpose statement (i.e. health care, safety, help the poor), rather than clear, measurable targets/activities that can be achieved as objectives.
2. Do too many things at once have no priorities.
3. Commit too many resources (i.e. throwing money at problems, overstaffing) to solve problems (rather than seeking efficient solutions).
4. Fail to pilot test new programs or build on small scale successes in similar programs.
5. Fail to learn from previous experience fail to plan for success and fail to review to examine strengths, weaknesses, limitations.
6. Resist or fail to abandon an idea or project when it has proven useless or invaluable.
Think of an example of a federal, state, or local public safety project that failed or suffered from one or more of these sins (or a personal example from an organization that you participated in). Describe the project and discuss how it failed/suffered.
