Personality insights algorithm, natural language generation AI and data visualisation for life skills e-learning

甚至在新冠肺炎出现之前，英国儿童的幸福感就从12岁开始急剧下降，16岁时的幸福感比8岁时低21%。青少年中中介机构的流失正在增加，英国在学生生活满意度方面的得分在经合组织中最低。除了这些令人不安的事实之外，新冠肺炎带来的一个关键挑战是对中学生幸福感的进一步负面影响。经济合作与发展组织和其他组织警告称，向在线和在校学习相结合的转变以及学校在短时间内关闭，将继续造成混乱。人们更多地关注学术学习的连续性，而不是学生的社会情感发展，这是学校必须解决的一个差距，以避免幸福感进一步下降。Persona Education由英国创新基金会提供部分资金，为中学开发了一个名为Persona Life Skills的电子学习平台。这款网络应用程序旨在改善学生的幸福感，使用独特的个性洞察框架来了解自我控制和适应能力等生活技能的发展。Persona生活技能应用程序的1.0版将于2020年9月中旬发布。这场流行病也给青少年未来的就业前景带来了不确定性。学生和雇主都认为发展生活技能有助于提高就业能力。我们打算帮助培养的许多生活技能--例如。沟通技能和时间管理-将有助于他们的就业能力。我们正在申请这项创新英国拨款，以资助一个研发引领的创新项目，该项目将有助于教育部门从新冠肺炎中复苏，并帮助限制未来对当前青少年群体的经济影响。这笔资金将把我们的v1.0网络应用程序转变为一个商业上可行的产品，将最先进的技术带到一个新的水平，这将帮助中学解决福利和就业方面的挑战。具体地说，我们计划利用赠款资金开发三项创新：增强算法；自然语言生成人工智能报告；以及高级交互可视化。作为云托管的网络应用程序，Persona Life Skills旨在通过视频会议在学校或远程学习中表现同样出色。Persona Life Skills应用程序与文化无关。基本的人格洞察框架已被证明对任何文化背景的人都同样有效，并已在18个不同民族的实践中使用。此外，我们遵循W3C网络无障碍倡议的指导方针，在应用程序中加入了积极的行动和无障碍功能。我们为该项目的主要目标是：1.进行研究，为创新发展计划提供信息。增强了v1.0算法。开发自然语言生成人工智能报告能力4。设计和开发交互式视觉报道5。将这些改进整合到Persona生活技能Web应用程序中，进行市场测试并最终确定版本2.06。将该产品提供给中学使用

Even before COVID-19, wellbeing among UK children fell sharply from age 12, and was 21% lower at 16 than at age 8\. Loss of agency among teenagers was rising and the UK scored lowest in the OECD on pupil life satisfaction.On top of these disturbing facts, a key challenge arising from COVID-19 is the further negative impact on secondary school student wellbeing. The OECD and others are warning of continued disruption caused by a shift to blended online and in-school learning and short-notice school closures. More attention is being given to the continuity of academic learning than to students' socio-emotional development, a gap which schools must address to avoid further declines in wellbeing.Partly funded by an Innovation UK grant, Persona Education has developed an e-learning platform for secondary schools, called Persona Life Skills. This web app aims to improve wellbeing among students, using a unique personality insights framework to inform the development of life skills such as self-control and resilience. Version 1.0 of the Persona Life Skills app will be released in mid-September 2020\.The pandemic has also created uncertainty among teenagers about their future employment prospects.Both students and employers believe developing life skills helps to improve employability. Many of the life skills we aim to help develop - eg. communication skills and time management - will contribute to their employability.We are applying for this Innovate UK grant to fund an R&D-led innovation project that will contribute to the education sector recovery from COVID-19 and help to limit the future economic impact on the current cohort of teenagers. This funding will transform our v1.0 web app into a commercially viable product that takes the state-of-the-art to the next level, which will help secondary schools address the wellbeing and employability challenges.Specifically there are three innovations we plan to use grant funding to develop: An enhanced algorithm; Natural Language Generation AI reporting; and advanced interactive visualisation.As a cloud-hosted web app, Persona Life Skills is purposely built to perform equally well in school or in remote learning facilitated by video-conferencing.The Persona Life Skills app is culturally agnostic. The underlying personality insights framework has been shown to work equally well for people of any cultural background and has been used in practice with 18 different nationalities. Moreover we have built positive action and accessibility features into the app, following W3C Web Accessibility Initiative guidelines.Our key objectives for the project are:1. Conduct research to inform innovation development plans2. Enhance the v1.0 algorithm3. Develop natural language generation AI reporting capability4. Design and develop interactive visual reporting5. Incorporate these improvements into the Persona Life Skills web app, market-test and finalise v2.06. Make the product available to secondary schools
