Coppell ISD has a new digital tool to better cater to students’ individual learning styles.
The school district is the first to use IBM Watson Element for Educators, an app that integrates analytics and data from areas such as academic performance, attendance, and student interests, to help educators better facilitate personalized learning.
The new app also offers learning content suggestions based on students’ needs and allows teachers to recognize student accomplishments.
“Using the Watson Element app, educators now have the relevant, real-time information they need in order to individualize learning and prepare students to be successful in an ever-changing world,” said Marilyn Denison, Coppell ISD assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, in a release.
