Xavier's Capstone
Brainstorming
We had an open brainstorm with a 'no bad idea' mentality I got several different things
​
1) App - By giving suggestions on how to work around the problem, Have teachers attempt to help students, survey resources
2) AI Command -“Explain _____ in _____ style” will explain a subject in the style of your choice
3) Internet of Things - Delivers a teacher fitting your style to your house(Yeah it's dumb)
4) Web Series - Record lessons in multiple different ways
5)Event/Program - Structured peer on peer tutoring after school take one student who is bad in one class and good an another and a student who is good in both to take the bad class in the style of the good class.
2x2
A diagram that measures an idea's practicality using two distinct factors
​
1) Feasibility - Your own ability to deliver on the idea and make sure it is self-sustainable
2) Alignment with Principles - Whether or not the idea includes all the key principles you set during the interpret step
Filtering & Defining
Narrowing down your ideas to the most effective and further developing the specifics of each idea as well as the effect of such
​
1 Structured Tutoring Program - An after school program involving structured peer on peer tutoring takes one student who is bad in one class and good an another and a student who is good at both to take the bad class in the style of the good class - It would allow students to get the help they need while not causing problems for the teachers
​
2) AI Explain Command - “Explain ____ in _____ style” explains a subject in the style that will be understood - Students would be able to instantly get the information on short notice - Students would be able to instantly get the information on short notice
​
3) Education Resources App - Give suggestions on how to work around the problem, Have teachers attempt to help students, survey resources - Provides a large amount of information in one place allowing students to get everything on short notice
Decision Matrix
Puts the narrowed down ideas up against the principles you created as well as its self-sustainability, making sure it can exist without you being present.
Focus Group Survey
Lastly, I sent out a survey to my focus group to see how they think they stack up to my principles and reach a final conclusion. It was close, a three-way tie for the first two principles but the third gave the edge to the AI.
Conclusion
If I create an AI Program to explain information in a variety of styles and methods then many students can learn content in different ways, tailored to their learning style, regardless of the teacher's methods.
