dial tone for education data
Standard, consistent, timely, reliable data everywhere.
Analytics, AI, blockchain, personalised learning, strategic innovation,.........
Are we nearly there yet?
Are we nearly where, yet?
The habits we pick up in school no longer create economic value.

The Knowledge Economy
demands continual
adaptation to change
What you've learned will matter
far less than how well
you've learned to learn
The new focus
isn't digital
it's cognitive
I need
to be
understood
I need
to be
the most
effective
I can be
learners
teachers
the datas will surely help us...
...but not if we lose context
...not if the data drives, not serves
What would the
uber-ification of education
look like?
- hyper-individual
- task leads on to task
- chosen by expert algorithms
- a sort of freedom
- only systems know the aggregate
- am I learning to learn
- what's the context
- the gig-economy
...no really, what would that look like
- select the curriculum framework
- choose the learning progressions
- find aligned resources
- create aligned assessments
- generate aligned rubrics
- wrangle with results
- summarise & report against the criteria
- share the summary
the good news is we can automate this
the bad news is if we do it the wrong way we remove agency and effectiveness
think backwards
or we're just going to make a
shit sandwich
twice as fast
Working backwards starts with the goals and outcomes rather than requirements and constraints.
Alan Cooper Agile India March 2018
| Thinking Forwards | Thinking Backards |
|---|---|
| Confirmation of what we already think we know | Discovery of what we don't know we don't know |
| Optimization of what we already have/do | Opportunity of doing new things in new ways |
| Brittle | Adaptable |
| Constraints & requirements | Possibilities |
| Where are we right? | Where are we wrong? |
Starting with the goals & outcomes
how can we apply new possibilities
I need
to be
understood
I need
to be
the most
effective
I can be
using the dial tone...

none of the technology is hard
I need
to be
understood
I need
to be
the most
effective
I can be
starting with the goals
and outcomes is
what will really make
the data work
strategic summary
don't make shit sandwiches faster
be relentlessly backwards in your thinking
BUT
Are we nearly there yet?

the questions to ask
are you on the dial tone?
will my learners be better understood?
will my teachers be the most effective they can be?
