Hello everyone,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all recognize the support teachers need, especially after the pandemic. With increasing demands on teachers, such as the need to keep up with rapid changes brought about by technology disruption, adoption of learner-centric methods, and differentiated learning approaches needed to develop 21st-century student competencies. I combined micro-learning, social learning, and machine learning to envision an app that would close the gap between teachers, instructional designers, and educational researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minima combines two important categories<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Learning Journey:<\/strong> Learn the latest techniques and gain insight from the latest research in education by learning on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Personal AI Instructional Designer:<\/strong> Transform your data into modern and multi-modal learning materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minima is an idea that came to me while experiencing DALLE-2<\/a>, which is an AI software that transforms texts into visual images. Minima would take the same concepts but transform learning materials into multi-modal and modern ones. I named the app “Minima” for its micro-learning “mini” strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a one-page scroll website that I’ve created for Minima<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
