A memory-based learning system is an extended memory management system that decomposes the input space either statically or dynamically into subregions for the purpose of storing and retrieving functional information. Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a simple function approximation method whose roots go back at least to 1910. Training a memory based learner is an almost trivial operation: just store each data point in memory (or a database). Making a prediction about the output that will result from some input attributes based on the data is done by looking for similar points in memory, fitting a local model to those points, and then making a prediction based on the model.

Competency-Based learning refers to systems of instruction, assessment, grading, and academic reporting that are based on students demonstrating that they have learned the knowledge and skills they are expected to learn as they progress through their education. Connections-based Learning focuses on students making meaningful connections with teachers, experts, organizations, community and each other. The development of this approach has been birthed out of a desire to create learning experiences in a connected world with connected students. This resource includes: 1.

Characteristics of Connected Students 7. Ideas for Connecting your Students 8. Resources to Implement CBL

Job-Based Learning is usually taken to mean learning the job-specific skills and knowledge by doing the job. The learning happens in real time and may be indistinguishable from the performance of the work to which it is intended to contribute. This Resource Covers: 1. Meaning of JBL 2. JBL Synonyms 3.

Brain-based learning refers to teaching methods, lesson designs, and school programs that are based on the latest scientific research about how the brain learns, including such factors as cognitive development—how students learn differently as they age, grow, and mature socially, emotionally, and cognitively. This is a new paradigm which establishes connections between brain function and educational practice. In a nutshell, brain-based education says, “Everything we do uses our brain.” This resource includes: 1. Definition of Brain Based Learning 2. BBL Basics, Principles, and Strategies 3. Practical School Applications 4. Resources for Implementation

Feedback is vital in just about all learning contexts. How children learn from positive and negative performance feedback lies at the foundation of successful learning and is therefore of great importance for educational practice.
