Do your students love word problems?
Conate Learn for Education
Educators work with students from varying backgrounds and with different capabilities. Some students seem to intuitively grasp material, while others languish without ever reaching the level of understanding. Even many professors and teachers, being experts themselves, have trouble reaching a portion of their students that just can’t seem to “get it into their head”. Add another sentence here, explain how this part works.
Almost all “former” students have had at least one such experience. But what is the cost of disillusioned students in terms of missed career opportunities or discoveries that could benefit and enrich humanity?
Conate Learn was invented in a higher education environment by actual educators, to help any learner become an expert by framing situations and thinking just like experts. As students follow expert thinking processes across a range of scenarios, they become able to make decisions in context.
Conate Learn can be used in both self-directed online or classroom learning and training environments. Instructors can decide how they want to provide feedback to learner responses, and can use the technology in person, assign it as homework, or use it for exams.
Organize practical knowledge
Experts tend to be goal-oriented and don’t think like a textbook — they eliminate everything that’s irrelevant in the moment. For the novice, however, it’s a sea of unfamiliarity. Conate Learn helps students attend to the things that are relevant to them in a methodical fashion.
Intuitive, effective teaching
Conate is an intuitive way of learning, and it work for students of all backgrounds. It is consistent, scalable, and results in learning of the highest quality.
Responsive, real-time feedback
Demand more from students through their use of Conate Learn, then measure progress and give constant feedback. If students get stuck, Conate Learn lets them know immediately, and students can focus on those problem areas. Instructors can see at a glance how students are doing, so they can understand where a class or individual is excelling and where it is struggling.
Apply knowledge to real-world scenarios
Most education doesn’t foster immediate application of principles taught. Conate Learn helps students build mental frameworks and schemas to use in analyzing scenarios. They even learn to love word problems!
Bring mental frameworks to life
In traditional education, students often don’t know why they’re learning particular concepts or when they’ll use them. With Conate Learn, they will see the correlations of solving a problem or getting an answer in real time.
Create customizable, ready-to-go content
Professors can provide ready-made content to students, and can easily edit and customize those courses at any time, adding their own problems, assignments, and assessments.
Conate is both a pedagogy and a patented software tool, the crowning achievement of two instructional technology professors at Brigham Young University searching for a better way to teach the most dreaded subject on campus: statistics. The decision-based learning (DBL) pedagogy has been developed and refined by BYU education experts over many years and the accompanying learning platform, Conate Learn, is just now being made available for purchase.
