Abstract

Two open, online educational platforms, OpenStax Exercises and OpenStax Tutor, are working to revolutionize the way in which students learn concepts in diverse subject areas. Born and tested in the area of signal processing education, these tools bring to bear cutting-edge ideas in cognitive science and machine learning to automatically build personalized learning pathways for today´s students and to advance the field of learning science. These platforms are introduced and initial results discussed.
