Technology Review: Adapting Websites to Users
personalization and marketing
-
Now researchers at MIT's Sloan School of Management hope to make websites better at selling products by making them adapt automatically to each visitor, presenting information in a way that complements that person's style of thinking.
-
While quite a few sites, such as Amazon.com, offer personalized features, many of those sites adapt by drawing information from user profiles, stored cookies, or long questionnaires. The Sloan system, however, adapts to unknown users within the first few clicks on the website by analyzing each user's pattern of clicks.

Knowledge Overload
Quote: "Coping with the deluge of information is a major challenge for students, scholars, librarians and the general public. After all, with thousands of online newspapers, blogs, and academic journals, Google Books digitizing millions of titles, massive amounts of information coming online each day, major innovations in content management, and the ubiquitous impact of e-mail, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other new technologies, we find ourselves awash in petabytes of information of widely varying quality."

Let's get personal
"The article focuses on the creation of Personal Learning Environments (PLE). The authors assert that PLE can encompass informal learning, work-based learning and formal learning. They add that students are given the opportunity to organize their learning on their own. Changes in higher education are said to be contributing to the interest in PLE. The authors also stress that PLE can facilitate various learning styles defined by students."

Constructivism in mass higher education: a case study
"Constructivist educational principles suggest that educational environments should provide learners with personal control, authentic learning contexts, and diverse personal interactions including collaboration. How can such constructivist values be applied to mass Higher Education? Traditional methods cannot achieve it with large student numbers but computer-based media are scaleable and may support constructivist learning. A new course for nonscience undergraduates provided an opportunity for a constructivist design using the World Wide Web, email, and video. The design of the course, its implementation and evaluation are described. Authentic assessment was critical. Web forms and e-mail supported some necessary personal interactions, but collaborative work was problematical." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
