The machine learns so that we can learn better: Bechtle AI funding project delivers customized educational content.

Always up-to-date.

Named E365 Maverick, the project is designing an algorithm to generate personalised learning pathways. To do so, learning content and offers from a range of free and fee-based online sources are consolidated based on the users’ level of knowledge, offer quality and content level. When everything is combined, the result is a personalised learning pathway that continuously adapts as the AI application notes the users’ answers and experiences in a feedback loop and the algorithm updates itself—and the content—in real-time.

Man and metadata.

There is, however, one stumbling block in the process and that’s that there isn’t a recognised metadata model that measures knowledge. Together with the Business Informatics Department at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, a team from the A/V Software Solutions Bechtle Competence Centre is currently working on solution. Even AI needs a little help from mere mortals some of the time.
