• Resource difficulty level by concept

• Knowledge level of the learner by concept

• Works with ANY learning resource, not just OER! iLearn usecase : tagging a resource Ontology based on Wikipedia

• Growth hacking • Support all major languages • New features : group maps, search, ‘I doubt’ button • Add value to all user types : teachers, unemployed

Learning ecosystem Image from Ishan Ishan from @seefromtheskyImage Profiling learners

• Interests • Skill proficiency • Cultural background • Learning style

➔ Deep learning From iLearn to iCan

• Skill micro-validation • Soft skills integration • Open badges • Degrees (VAE)

➔ Compare your profile with a specific job / population ➔ Plan your learning path A gateway to non digital learning

• Places of learning : libraries, museums, campuses, galleries, maker spaces, artists in residence... • Events : hackathons, open challenges, conferences, workshops, meetups… • Books • Learning circles… Learning ecosystem

• Analyse learning global trends • Supporting world needs

➔ SDG Personal data control

➔ If we do not build iLearn as a non profit / public service, GAFAM will do it for us…

…and we’ll be the product! Why is iLearn disruptive?

● Covers all knowledge with a digital trace, formal and informal ● Reflexivity and intermediation ● Can partner with OER seach engines as well as private learning platforms (OpenClassrooms, MOOCS…) ● Aligned with SDGs iLearn team, growing fast

+ mentors and experts : vision, tech, business… Open questions 1. Existing education ecosystem integration How will existing education stakeholders fare with these future evolutions? 2. People as learning resources How can we match learners with them? Why should they help? Can Open Badges and AI profiling tools like iLearn help? How? 3. Gateway to non digital learning resources 4. Recommend formal assessment to iLearn user Can a universal testing/training system exist with AI? 5. Recognize skills learned informally 6. Economic model of the learning society digital ecosystem People are learning resources

• Mentors • Co-learners • Teachers • Experts and scientists

How can we match learners with them? Why should they help? How can we reward the best mentors and open learning content providers? Existing education ecosystem integration How will existing education stakeholders fare with these future evolutions ?

• Schools • Universities and higher education establishments • Vocational training establishments • Teachers associations • OER producers • State institutions • International MOOC platforms • GAFAMs and other major digital players • EdTech companies Can we recommend formal assessment to iLearn users

Use existing systems : • MOOCs • VAE • Degrees…

Can a universal testing / training system exist with AI ? Learning society digital ecosystem economic model

Keywords : • open source, • state operator, • grants, • business premium features, • user payment, • crowdfunding, • fundations, • etc. Recognize skills learned informally

• Professional experiences • Associations • Training periods

• Peer recognition • Project based recognition • Challenges and trophies

How can AI and open badges help recognize skills ? What’s the benefit of this digital learning ecosystem?

• Match learners with the best resources • Create massive learning behaviour data with huge social and economic value • Valorize the best OER resources and learning the best learning strategies • Initiate the recognition society iLearn project resources
