Gooru’s Navigator technology allows each innovator to engage with their own goals and agendas including research areas, tools, study outcomes, and validation while joining other innovators to give all learners equal access to results. Each innovator can measure learning gains, study positive learning outcomes and validate data that goes back into the Navigator system and informs the system.
Gooru brings anonymized usage and efficacy data back to researchers to help improve science and practice of learning through a mathematical structure. This structure allows the system to gather rich activity stream data for every learner in all facets of learning, including cognitive and non-cognitive skills and knowledge. This activity stream data can be captured for all users and form large, rich data sets for researchers in the Navigated Learning Collaborative. Gooru's research-to-practice model allows for a distributed learning system to come together to accelerate research and develop best practices in implementation.
Gooru has established a research life cycle that informs the platform at every stage of design, development, and implementation. With Navigated Learning, Gooru can measure all facets of learning and amplify education and skills training using a real-time data backbone to create personalized, adaptive learner journeys. Gooru provides real-time actionable information to all stakeholders in the learning ecosystem to track learning and struggles. Researchers for all disciplines can work together on major research projects to better unpack the complexities of learning.
By integrating research and practice, the two inform each other at each stage in the research and product development cycle. It creates a closed loop information gathering approach to validate the data and learning science that informs the system and product design and moves the academic fields forward with rich, large learning data sets. It establishes a rich environment for transdisciplinary convergence research. Each project will inform and ensure Navigator is designed, implemented, and validated with science.
Innovators will access data through Mission Control. Mission Control’s dashboard provides access to real-time learner data at different grain sizes. Innovators can query the database and apply their own filters to get the data sets that are most relevant to their work. This data and information is easily accessible and exportable. Gooru maintains the highest levels of data privacy and security. Any access to data will require permissions and automated settings will be set conservatively to ensure the privacy of all users.
