NLabs = Equity + Excellence
Systemic change is needed to empower a thriving ecosystem to accelerate outcomes in learning with personalization
Navigator Labs (NLabs) is a learning research nonprofit organization that has developed Navigated Learning Technology to provide a “GPS for Learning”. The technology has been validated by implementing it in 110 projects over the past 13 years across various segments and disciplines – K12, Higher Ed, Skills training, and Professional learning. NLabs works with researchers in different areas such as learning science, cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience to understand the whole learner and provide personalized pathways and recommendations to their learning destinations.
Why We Need NLabs
To establish equity and excellence in learning, we recognize that any meaningful solution will require changes to the way we think about learning and how we measure outcomes. This is a complex process. In order to effect real change, our strategy must:
- Be designed for equity
- Enable lifelong learning at scale
- Uphold privacy and keep data secure
- Provide total choice as to why, what, where, and how to learn
- Be interoperable
- Include all types of learning activities
- Work in low-technology environments, and
- Continually improve
In trying to meet these needs, learning providers use many eLearning platforms, state standardized tests, team projects, after-school programs, and so many more. However, data from each of these tools only show pieces of the whole learner. Without aggregating data across tools and programs, learning providers cannot truly understand the whole learner. With a better understanding of our learners, we can:
- Provide personalized instruction for each learner
- Provide real-time actionable insights to stakeholders
- Enable systemic change in learning
What We Have Built
Over the past several years, the NLabs has worked with pioneering districts, transdisciplinary researchers, content and tools innovators, and nonprofit organizations around the world, to develop and implement the Navigated Learning approach. Schools such as Lammersville Unified and Leadership Public Schools, research partners at the University of Utah and Delaware University, and nonprofit organizations such as Gyan Prakash Foundation, and Green Shoots have worked with NLabs to ensure that NLT aligns with the practices, integrates science of learning, and is equitable.
In the process, we created Learning Navigator, a suite of tools for students, teachers, principals, parents, curriculum designers, and school administrators that leverage the Navigated Learning approach.
