What Training Can Learn From Master Athletes, Musicians, and Artists (SU308)

Can technology make everyone a master? Champions across sports, music, and the arts are distinguished by the practices of intentional focus, consistent challenge, quick feedback, and repetition to automaticity. If the habits that produce elite performance can be identified and scaled successfully for the average person, then perhaps mastery can be democratized and made accessible to all. The field of adaptive learning is well-suited for this challenge. It is now possible to create learner-centered experiences that adjust in real time to provide each individual with an optimal level of focus, challenge, feedback, and repetition. These new technologies ensure that every individual attains mastery and has a chance to succeed. What is the science behind these platforms and these algorithms? You will walk away with a hands-on understanding of mastery, what it means, and how to achieve it efficiently.
