Aware Software
As brilliant as most software and apps might seem, they are still severely awareness-disabled, meaning they don’t know and can’t respond to simple user contexts such as who I am, where I am, what grade I’m in, what class this is, what level I’ve achieved, what my learning style is, etc. The objective of Aware Software is that discrete levels of context awareness allows it to be ‘adaptive’, thereby responding constructively to arising learning situations.
Opportunity Statement
While Artificial Intelligence (AI) remains futuristic, Aware Software requires far more basic response capabilities that are possible now. For example, context-awareness is critical for emerging mobile apps. The venture opportunity is for application developers and instructional designers to develop accountability-driven pedagogical models focused on the learning experience.

Imagine your personal digital learning butler, admin assistant and digital desk organizer rolled into one digital environment. Equentia has the beginnings of this for the private sector. Educators should apply this form of curating, monitoring, aggregating, annotexting, re-publishing tool to their personal and professional learning environments. Aware software for students will enhance and expand their learning potential.
