Augmented Learning

Personalize Learning and Maximize Each Student's Potential

Imagine an educational environment where every student receives support from a personal tutor, tailored to their pace and learning style. With Augmented Learning, we are making the dream of personalized education a reality.

In the 1980s, educational researcher Benjamin Bloom posed the “two sigma” problem, showing how students in a personalized tutoring environment—one teacher per student—achieve significantly higher levels of performance.

 

Until now, this level of personalization seemed unattainable at scale. With Augmented Learning, we are transforming this challenge into an opportunity. Through Portrait and Learning Buddy, and with Emilia as a generative AI virtual assistant, SEAL delivers an adaptive learning experience that responds to each student’s individual needs, available 24/7.

Augmented Learning is an advanced artificial intelligence module that enables truly personalized education. With Portrait and Learning Buddy, Augmented Learning helps institutions understand how their students learn, supporting them proactively and adapting to their needs.

Portrait - Deep Learning

Portrait analyzes each student's learning process based on the "digital footprints" they leave in the learning management system (LMS), which are stored in WHALE. This submodule assesses student learning from four key pillars: executive functions, social skills, learning readiness, and academic achievement. Portrait uses our propiertary learning analytics framework based on 16 specific indicators, including:

​​​​

  • Executive Functions: Self-initiation, working memory, time management and organizational skills.

  • Social Skills: Communication, teamwork, leadership and collaboration.

  • Willingness to Learn: Tranquility, optimism, resilience and self-confidence.

  • Academic Achievement: Grades, efficiency, effectiveness, LMS usage and engagement.

These indicators allow Portrait to create a detailed “snapshot” of how each student learns, which Emilia then uses to offer personalized learning advice.

The Nudge Theory:

Using Nudge Theory, Portrait generates recommendations that are delivered to students via Emilia, designed to indirectly and effectively influence their behavior. This approach allows students to correct negative behaviors and reinforce positive ones, improving academic performance.

​​​​Student Benefits:

  • Custom analysisof your learning style based on 16 indicators.

  • Pedagogical recommendationsadapted, delivered by Emilia.

  • Improves skills such as working memory, self-initiation and efficiency, boosting academic performance.

A pilot study at the Universidad Privada del Norte in Peru demonstrated significant improvements in critical skills thanks to this approach:

  • Working Memory: 100% increase, from 11.65% to 23.31% in the pilot group.

  • Self-initiation: Increase of 522%, going from 2.3% to 14.28%.

  • Efficiency: Improved by 50%, from 10.03% to 15.03%.

Learning Buddy - Socratic Tutor for Personalized Academic Assistance

Learning Buddy acts as a socratic virtual assistant, specialized in offering academic support in complex disciplines such as mathematics, precalculus and algebra. Enriched with the specific content of each course and customizable for each institution, Learning Buddy allows students to receive direct help tailored to their needs, with answers that are available at any time. 

Two Operating Modes:

  1. Reactive Mode: Students can interact with Emilia to resolve questions related to assignments, exams, or specific concepts. Emilia responds immediately, allowing students to access help when they need it most, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  2. Proactive Mode: In courses with a standardized instructional design, Learning Buddy can analyze assessment results in the LMS. This allows Emilia to identify specific areas of opportunity for each student and offer additional support on those skills or concepts in which the student is struggling. This proactive intervention helps close competency gaps and improve academic performance in a personalized way.

Impact and Benefits:

A recent Harvard study in 2023 confirmed that AI has the potential to replicate the one-on-one tutoring experience in large classes, providing a safe, judgment-free environment where students can ask questions and receive constant guidance. Emilia, through Learning Buddy, enables students to overcome difficulties in complex subjects, promoting deep and lasting learning.

Student Benefits:

  • 24/7 personalized assistancein fundamental disciplines.

  • Proactive orientationin areas of opportunity detected through assessment analysis.

  • Contextualized and adaptive responses, increasing student engagement and understanding.
