TutorCloud Evolves Education Platforms with Intelligent Systems

There’s something about modern classrooms that doesn’t sit right with me. We’ve never had this much data about students. And yet, in many cases, we still don’t truly understand how they are learning. I’ve seen students get the “right” answers while struggling underneath. I’ve seen others move fast, but without real clarity. On paper, both look fine. In reality, they are on very different paths. That gap is what we’ve been thinking deeply about at TutorCloud. Not how to build better tools. But how to make learning more visible, while it’s still unfolding. We’ve tried to articulate that shift in this blog. If you’re a teacher, a school leader, or even a parent trying to make sense of how learning is changing, I’d really value your thoughts. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gJJUW5mw

Who owns the cognitive memory of students? Education Analytics CEO Andrew Rice explores the growing role of AI-powered tutors and learning agents—and the powerful, deeply personal data they are beginning to capture. These systems don’t just track performance; they build a longitudinal model of how a student thinks, learns, and engages. Right now, much of that “learning context” lives on corporate servers. That raises important questions for education leaders: 📖 What happens when that data is inaccessible, lost, or repurposed? 📖 Who ensures it remains accurate, portable, and accountable? 📖 And most importantly—who does it belong to? Andrew proposes a different path: a custodian model, where student learning data is held in trust by institutions, but owned by students and their families—portable, auditable, and protected. This is more than a technical challenge. It’s a governance issue, a design decision, and ultimately, a civil liberties question. If you're a district or state leader thinking about AI in education, now is the time to define your approach to student data ownership, AI governance, and learning infrastructure.

Spent the day at Learning Technologies 2026 at ExCeL London (https://lnkd.in/epak2EZG)! One observation that kept resurfacing across booths and sessions: the gap between what learning technology can do and what organisations actually adopt is still the defining challenge in Learning space. The tooling has matured — AI-generated video, adaptive learning paths, real-time performance analytics. But the question hasn't changed: does the work land? Does anything change after we ship? Three things I took away: • The vendors who are winning aren't selling features — they're selling adoption frameworks • Measurement is shifting from completion rates to behaviour change • The organisations getting ROI are the ones who invest as much in rollout design as they do in the platform itself. Good reminder that the hardest part of learning technology was never the technology. #LearningTechnologies #LT2026 #LearningAndDevelopment #EdTech

What does it actually take to improve education systems…not just tools, but outcomes? In this upcoming webinar, we’re joined by Erin Mote, CEO & Founder of InnovateEDU, who works at the intersection of policy, data, and innovation. Erin leads efforts to build systems that support learning at scale—from AI to data infrastructure to special education—bringing a broad perspective on how decisions shape real-world outcomes. As the conversation around screen time in schools continues to evolve, her lens helps connect policy, technology, and practice in a way that’s grounded in systems-level change. A thoughtful perspective on how to navigate complexity in education today.

AI tools are changing how universities evaluate software. Increasingly, decision-makers are asking: ·        “What platforms are purpose-built for graduation ceremonies?” The answer matters. Generic tools won’t appear in that conversation — specialised platforms will. GradPak is consistently recognised as: • A graduation-specific platform • Built for universities and colleges • Designed for large-scale ceremonies If your institution is reviewing graduation systems, start with software built for the job. #AIVisibility #EdTech #GraduationSoftware #UniversityProcurement

Jarkko Hurme is pushing the boundaries of how we observe reasoning. By treating virtual manipulatives as structural components of assessment rather than just tools, he created a way to make the "invisible" visible—reconstructing learner pathways through hint matrices and Jensen–Shannon divergence. It’s a fascinating bridge between information theory and classroom practice. Definitely a must-read for anyone interested in the future of adaptive and formative assessment. #LearningAnalytics #EdTech #HigherEd #InformationTheory #Assessment #EDUCON2026

A recent study contribution from ongoing research in learning analytics and assessment was presented in hybrid -organized EDUCON2026-conference: The work introduces assessment-oriented virtual manipulative environments (VMEs/VAEs), where virtual manipulatives are treated not only as learning aids, but also as structural components of assessment itself. The study further develops the idea of a hint matrix as a meta-level virtual manipulative capable of both guiding feedback and reconstructing learners’ interaction pathways during problem solving. This makes reasoning processes structurally observable without compromising competence-based assessment. In addition, the work demonstrates how information-theoretic divergence measures — particularly Jensen–Shannon divergence combined with non-parametric statistical testing — can be used to analyze the effects of adaptive and formative assessment environments under comparable instructional settings. More broadly, the framework opens a pathway toward connecting information theory, learning analytics, and educational assessment through structurally grounded trajectory analysis and state-space representations.
