Pointsquare is an open online platform being developed with the goal of connecting the web’s content to create personalized adaptive learning paths.
The internet is a fertile ground for knowledge. Everyday independent creators post new content about virtually anything. Pointsquare is bringing structure to that content, so that every learner may have a course accurately tailored to their skill set and personal goals. This means that if a student fails a lesson, the next lesson will change based on this outcome. Or that you are never presented content which you already know "just because that is how the course was designed".
- Units
any type of learning content - such as videos, exercises, markdown text - Concepts
the theoretical concepts discussed in each unit - such as power notation or the square root of a number - Exams
bundles of exercises which you can try to solve. In case you fail any exercise we will find the shortest learning path for you to learn it and get ready for the exam
Units of content which already exist in other open platforms are added to Pointsquare by contributors. During this process the units are tagged for the concepts they require to know beforehand and the concepts they will teach the student. These concepts are defined and created by the contributors.
Students set a learning goal (can be unit, concept or exam) and Pointsquare recommends the shortest learning path - it's that simple. If the student fails any content, the learning path will be automatically re-designed. Just like a GPS if you took a wrong turn.
