Project PERLS (Pervasive Learning System)
Developer SRI International
Start Date 2014-00-00
Notes ERLS (PERvasive Learning System) is a personal assistant learning application designed to support adult self-learners. It provides an extensible platform for diverse instructional technologies, especially including those developed under the ADL PAL program. Context aware learning recommendations PERLS recommends content based on the learner’s goals, readiness, availability, location, deadlines, and other contextual factors. Each card includes a text sell point explaining why PERLS made the recommendation. Based on a model of Self Regulated Learning Each phase of the Self Regulated Learning model has associated goals, content types useful for advancing those goals, typical failure modes, and strategies useful for preventing or remedying failure. Learners can start and end at any point, following individualized paths. Diagram of the PERLS SRL model Sample PERLS leaning goal setting screen Customize learning goals Learners decide their level of commitment to studying a topic, and PERLS generates a learning plan. For instance, selecting Explore will lead PERLS to recommend additional content on the topic, preferring items that are interesting but not very challenging. If Study is selected, PERLS will recommend content representing a logical progression of content, from introductory material to challenging lessons. Get started on your learning plan Action cards encourage learners to engage in reflection, goal-setting, planning and other metacognitive, motivational, and volitional self-learning strategies. PERLS tracks progress to better understand learner interests, and can encourage to learners to step up and set a learning goal for a topic in which a pattern of interest emerges. Sample PERLS action card PERLS: the hub of a connected platform Unifies Diverse Applications and Content Learning content is spread among may sources and buried in diverse specialized apps. Learners will not know where to look. PERLS can recommend content from external repositories, feeds, and siloed learning application content such as lessons created in the PALMs system. Third party content can be imported into PERLS or registered but hosted remotely with user progress data via PERLS APIs. Find out more For more information about PERLS, email Michael Freed.
