Optimization, noun.
“Improve efficiency, enhance effectiveness, and optimize performance”

How Good Can It Be?
A famous answer from educational research
![Page 4: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Bloom’s 2 Sigma Challenge
Bloom, 1984
![Page 5: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
One-to-One Tutoring
And other methods compared to 30 students in the classroom
![Page 6: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Average Tutored Student by 2 SD
In other words, the average student is capable of much more
![Page 7: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tutoring is Expensive
So we teach class instead!
![Page 8: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bloom, 1984
If the research on the 2 sigma problem yields practiced methods (methods that the average teacher or school faculty can learn in a brief period of time and use with little more cost or time than conventional instruction), it would be an educational contribution of the greatest magnitude. (p. 5)

To Tutor Or Not to Tutor?
That is the (false) question
![Page 10: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Strategic Tutoring”
What if we could do one-on-one tutoring just-in-time and just-on-topic?
![Page 11: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Obs. 1 - Requires Great Insight
We’d have to know who needs help, when, and what they need help with
![Page 12: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Obs. 2 - Data Are the Key
You’d need live, fine-grained data about students, assessment, and curriculum
![Page 13: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Obs. 3 – Good Data Are Expensive!
Who gathers and analyzes data like this?
![Page 14: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Each and Every Interaction
Recorded and stored for analysisto improve quality of service / experience
![Page 19: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Even the Grocer!
Almost every industry uses data more effectively than we do
![Page 21: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Connecting the Dots
2 sigma => strategic tutoring => data
![Page 22: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How Can We Get the Data?
Follow Google, Amazon, Netflix, WoW, etc.
![Page 23: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Do School Online
Where each and every interaction can be captured and stored for analysis
![Page 24: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

What Kind of Data?
When they logged in, read, and workedHow long they logged in, read, and worked
Pathway informationItem-by-item analytics
&c.

OHSU Teaching Model
Online curriculum teaches as much as possible,teachers do proactive “strategic tutoring”
![Page 27: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Another Benefit of Data
Engage in continuous improvement of curriculum materials
![Page 28: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Can You Improve Curriculum?
Data aren’t sufficient – you need permission
![Page 29: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Open Educational Resources
Give OHSU the permissions it needs to engage in continuous improvement
![Page 30: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“4R” Permissions
Reuse – copy verbatimRedistribute – share with others
Revise – adapt and improveRemix – combine with others
![Page 31: Optimizing Education](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5549b938b4c905fc7f8b4bed/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
OHSU Charter Requires OER
Founders’ way of “burning the ships”

Continuous Quality Improvement
Student learning and curriculum effectivenessgrow simultaneously

He must have been playing
World of Warcraft, because he only spent 32 minutes
on Algebra.

Only Our Second Semester
But we’re aggressively pursuing 2 sigma
