Highlights

Vision

Cornerstone brings best-in class learning to our learners.

Learners have the opportunity to learn and consume content in a variety of devices/formats.

How does Cornerstone help the learner after the learner completes content ?

...

What value do we bring after content completion ?

Retention

The worst-best-case scenario is all too familiar.....

• Learner finds exactly what she is looking for
• Learner loves the content and engages with it
• Learner learns much about the subject

A few weeks later...

• Learner does not remember much of what she had learnt.
• Knowledge retention seems to follow the Power law.
• It decreases as the square of time.

##To start UI Open command prompt from following folder: angularclient > npm install --save-dev @angular-devkit/build-angular angularclient > ng serve --open

Personal Experience

I started off learning React.
2 production issues cropped up
Had to also continue on a sprint delivery story that was slightly complicated.

When I did get back to React, it felt a few years had passed.
Was pretty dis-oriented and had to start from scratch again.

Words of the wise....

R epetition

R e-inforces

R etention

• What are we repeating ?
  • Highlights
• How are we re-inforcing ?
  • When the user logs in, we jog the user's memory with highlights and the context What is value addition ? Retention

Other Approaches

• Spaced repetition
• Flashcards

Highlight Approach

1. Highlight relevant parts of content
2. Repeat these highlights whenever the user logs-on
3. Re-inforce learning with every repetition
4. Voila - Retention

Implementation

1. Highlight
   • Html
     • Select relevant text
   • File
     • Select relevant text
   • Video
     • Select time duration
2. Save highlights
3. Highlighted on reload -Re-loading same content, user selected text/video is rendered differently
4. Highlights portlet displays a single highlight depending on the re-inforcing function (oldest/most recent/one per content/...)
5. User should be able to personalize the highlight effect and icon

Future

We can open this up.

• Social: Show the most highlighted text in content
• Measure of engagement: Content with most highlighs is engaging content
• Create a tldr; from highlights
• Input to ML
• Searchable highlights
• Build up a knowledge base for each user from their highlights

Questions

What about other file types ?

Files that can be rendered natively in the browser can be highighted. If a user downloads the file, this functionality will not be supported.

What are the limitations ?

• No images in selection
• Text/Time only

Can the re-inforcing function be configured ?

Yes. A few of the options are

• Chronological
• Reverse-chronological
• Matching most recent
• Bubble-up
• Periodic
• Random
• One per day

Can the highlight icon and color scheme be configured ?

Very easily.

Concerns on integrating this to CSOD products

• Accessibility
• Integration to content player

Are there other channels to re-inforce ?

Sure we can use periodic notifications to send out a highlight once a week/month/...
