The broader impact of this SBIR Phase I project is to improve education and experiential learning. The proposed tool will support both synchronous and asynchronous learning while providing students with the opportunity to engage independently and connect their learning to internships, job shadows, service projects, and other real-world learning experiences. This project will enhance teacher capacity to guide and assess student learning, increase transparency and objectivity in assessment, and expand the learning ecosystem of schools by empowering students to engage in and validate authentic, real-world learning experience.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a novel competency-based evaluation tool and learner recommendation engine designed to: assess a range of currently needed skills and competencies, aggregate assessment data for the purpose of generating a comprehensive learner record in real time, and generate personalized competency pathways and recommendations for learning and growth. The key intellectual merits of this proposal are the formulas used to aggregate assessment data over time and the algorithms used to generate personalized competency pathways and learner recommendations. The technical challenges are the development and testing of the associated algorithms to guide and evaluate learning in both academic and authentic, real-world contexts. Research conducted during this Phase I project enable testing and refining of the data aggregation formulas utilized by the assessment tool, as well as optimization of the learner recommendation algorithms used for the creation of personalized competency pathways.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

SBIR第一阶段项目的更广泛影响是改善教育和体验式学习。 拟议的工具将支持同步和异步学习，同时为学生提供独立参与的机会，并将他们的学习与实习，工作阴影，服务项目和其他现实世界的学习经验联系起来。该项目将提高教师指导和评估学生学习的能力，提高评估的透明度和客观性，并通过让学生参与和验证真实的真实学习体验来扩大学校的学习生态系统。这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发一种基于能力的新型评估工具和学习者推荐引擎，旨在：评估一系列当前所需的技能和能力，汇总评估数据以便真实的生成全面的学习者记录，并生成个性化的能力途径和学习与成长建议。该提案的主要智力优势在于用于随时间推移汇总评估数据的公式以及用于生成个性化能力途径和学习者建议的算法。技术挑战是开发和测试相关算法，以指导和评估学术和真实的现实世界环境中的学习。在第一阶段项目期间进行的研究能够测试和改进评估工具所使用的数据聚合公式，以及优化用于创建个性化能力途径的学习者推荐算法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
