Learning Experience of the Future Hackathon

How might we design a technological solution to enhance learning and improve the user experience?  Join us on this 2.5 day Hackathon and help us to create a genuine solution to a variety of educational problems using technology. This event is for UNSW staff, students and Alumni. This question speaks to the problem of applying technology to a general educational context. How can these technologies be applied in this educational context? The problems we are trying to solve are in the area of marking formative assessment and giving feedback, giving the students a fairer learning experience, giving students the ability to extend their learning or consolidate their learning, giving students and teachers the ability to analyse how they are learning and then giving them suggestions as to how they can improve their performance, helping second language learners to acquire vocabulary and language instruction while learning and saving teachers’ time. Technology has been used to personalise the learning experience, build analytics into learning, using the computer as a tutor, or chatbots that learn from interactions and build materials around those interactions, help us to push this interaction further to so technology can enabled the greatest adult learning experience ever. We’re looking for awesome student innovators (like you!) to join our hack and redesign the future of education as we know it and be involved in a vibrant event that will see great minds come together to innovate and create in the area of applying technology in an educational context.
