Primetime: Machine Learning for Human Learning

How is today's online education different from distance-learning based on VHS tapes in the decades past? One answer is that we can collect a lot more data about student's learning behavior now. Let's explore how to turn fine-granular, real-time data into prediction, recommendation and automated individualization. We'll look at the latest research in this area and the impact it has started to make in deployed services.
