Something that facilitates practise. Most of the friction in learning for me is in figuring out how to aquire skills, what excercises to seek out, how to assess my own performance, how much more time/effort to put in. I’m sufficiently occupied with learning, that I’ve less resources to allocate to meta-problem of how to learn.
What would the solution look like? For mathematics, textbooks are almost ideal by themselves, however it’s difficult to assess one’s own performance, and the content never matches precisely with the uni course.
The software would schedule problems and content, grade user’s solutions and diagnose misunderstandings, track performance, adapt pace to user peformance/assessment schedule.
The hard part would be deciding from user data how to adapt difficulty, volume, frequency, to optimise learning. Quantify difficulty? Then to adapt all that to assessment schedule.
Real sci-fi would be generating problems to order according to difficulty. It almost seems like we’re there already, but I can’t quite tell.
