DialedIn is a framework that supports interactive learning through a network of intelligent personal assistants that shadow a learning community and interact to enhance both the individual and the group learning experience. It is unique because it works with existing practices and faculty constraints. Nevertheless, it gives educators unprecedented visibility into learners’ interactions with content using a powerful forensics interface. This vast amount of interaction data is analyzed using ML algorithms to implement autonomous educational interventions that seamlessly adopt some of the major burdens of faculty and learners.DialedIn recently won a competitive National Science Foundation grant (less than 9% acceptance rate) in the area of educational technologies. This grant is awarded by a mixed panel of seasoned tech innovators and academics, is non-dilutive and given only for work that NSF believes is cutting edge and disruptive.
