LIMITATIONS
1 2
14
Diaries are seen only as communication Channel
Lack of parental engazement
School diary should be seen as part of a wider communication strategy Telephone conversations, emails, digital photos, consultation should be part of it too.
Working parents often find it quite difficcult to scan diries beacuse of their hectic life. They may find it difficult to use the diary because of issues with literacy.
3 4
issues of confidentiality
lack of teacher’s regular response
Home-school diaries are like any other open books lacking confidentiality. Lack of secuarity measures can lead to lserious misuse of personal information.
It’s hard for teachers to manually write in the diary and that this job is left to the teaching assistant. Parents would want to know that the teacher is at least aware of it.

Hypothetical Example

Cordelia, you did OK on your latest mathematics test, you got 72%. It looks like the algebra questions were areas where you struggled. Is that a fair assessment?
Yes, I’m not sure I really get algebra. Are there any particular areas where I could improve?

Well, let’s see what my assistant suggests.

Teacher Cordelia, I think you would find the video suits your learning style better. I suggest that you start with that and then we’ll see how you get on.

Student
Traditional Approach (teacher alone)
Cognitive-enabled teacher assistant:
From an analysis of Cordelia’s learning profile and her last five tests, algebra is a relatively weak area for her in mathematics. Based against learning outcomes of 1.2 million similar Year8 students with matching learning characteristics, her understanding could beimproved by either reviewing algebra module 2.3 or looking at instructional video 7.
“You’re teaching to a bell curve. You’ve g your gifted kids in there and you’ve go your Special Ed kids in there. You’ve got reach them all and that’s very difficult.

Personalised learning
(Teacher plus cognitive system)
“With technology it is easier to send each student down a different learning track. Once you do that, there are huge levels of possibilities. You are no longer restricted by just having one teacher teach 30 kids the same thing.�

Cognitive systems can extend the capabilities of educators by providing deep domain insights and expert assistance These systems can also play the role of an assistant, which is complementary to teaching.

Data driven cognitive technologies will enable personalised education and improove outcomes for students, educators and administrators
61
COGNITIVE LEARNING
It is quite unlikely to integrate all possible knowledge into an objective truth. Rather, we are likely to construct personal understanding on the basis of facts that are presented We constantly construct mental models of our environment. Each reader learn on the basis of their own expertise and the interpretation depending on their mental models Modern theories of learning see the learner as the central component in the creation of meaning.
