UCF offers high-tech homework tailored to students - Gabrielle Russon, Orlando Sentinel

Tiffani Harper's online homework seemed to have a mind of its own. It knew that she learned best by watching videos and detected what topics she struggled to grasp. "It's teaching me the best way to study," said Harper, 32, a UCF student from Sanford. Harper's nursing class is part of a growing pilot program that uses cutting-edge technology to personalize online homework for students. The University of Central Florida is one of a handful of schools in the country using the adaptive-style learning for several online courses, school officials said. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/education/os-ucf-nursing-online-class-20151120-story.html
