I am at IBM Cloud Academy in Raleigh to attend 1st International IBM Cloud Academy conference.
Keynote Speaker: Mike King: VP, IBM Global Education
Usage of Cloud:
- Operational Efficiencies and Effectiveness from Shared Services: Enterprise Risk Management across the University of California system
- Campus Buildings are ripe for improving operational efficiencies with cloud: Many universities are saving money using IBM's building management tools.
- World of R&D 2010: Governments around the world are increasing investment in R&D.
- University of California has 25% of system revenue from funded research.
- Over $60B in research annual funding to US academic institutions, and growing globally.
- North Carolina State University, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, University of Bari, Italy, University of Warwick, UK.
IBM Watson System:
- Understands natural language and human speech.
- Generates and evaluates hypothesis for better outcomes.
- Adapts and learns from user selections and responses.
Q: Can the future of education become a more outcome-focused continuum supporting lifelong learning?
-Technology Immersions- Any device learning
- Personal Learning Paths- Student-centered processes
- Knowledge Skills- Learning communities
- Global Integration- Service specialization
- Economic Alignment- Systemic view of education
IBM Smarter Education Framework integrates analytics with partners, such as Desire2LEarn, to improve student outcomes.
- In Hamilton County, Tennessee's department of Education uses predictive analytics to improve student achievement: County achieved 8% increase in the graduation rate.
- Mobile County Public Schools implemented system for early intervention.
- Alabama State Dept of Education improves strategy decision making and student achievement with integrated data analytics.
