Welcome to the AidiX personalized learning microcredential system using our AR lab. Aidi School believes there is no technology on the horizon that can replace human-to-human learning. This is because education is not only about knowledge acquisition but also includes things like application in diverse contexts, socio-emotional learning, and team-based learning that are human-centric. However, many students would benefit from opportunities to explore personalized learning at their own pace, mediated by technologies they find novel and engaging but that are still effective. For this reason, TLI has redeveloped the Augmented Reality lab into a new microcredential system called AidiX to honour other pioneering microcredential systems such as HarvardX and EdX.

For students… This new system is available for direct booking by individual students to allow them to explore their interests in a personalized environment and receive formal recognition for their accomplishments. Students can now contact the Teaching, Learning and Innovation Center (TLI) directly to set up an appointment with our staff to begin their journey as part of the school effort to offer the best in personalized learning both in and out of classrooms. They can take individual lessons or complete all the requirements for a microcredential and get a TLI certificate for their learning portfolio and university admissions process. Students who are interested in enrichment learning can contact TLI via the following WeChat account.

For teachers… Teachers may also wish to book the lab and bring all their students to work either on individual lessons or entire lesson sets leading to a microcredential if this provides support for your courses. You may use them as a self-paced lesson or series of lessons for an entire class and give assistance or enrichment as needed. This can be combined with short video microlectures if you wish to explore flipped lessons with AR. Most AR lessons include embedded digital knowledge checks while others incorporate premade worksheets students will submit to you. The AR lessons may be used effectively as an exploratory introduction before direct instruction or after direct instruction as classroom reinforcement in place of worksheets, especially when combined with quality formative assessment practices such as traffic lights. Also, teachers who want all their students to complete all requirements for a microcredential in the lab can arrange for that and TLI will print certificates for every student and either present them directly or give them to the teacher to present.

Finally, teachers can arrange for the lab to be used for individual or small groups of students for extra enrichment for advanced students ahead of their class or as support for lower-attainment students that prerequisite learning. All lessons are available in either English or Chinese, so teachers can assign work in the language of their choice and so English teachers can use relevant interdisciplinary programs for their content-based English lessons. Recommended lesson age groups are given for guidance, but we are happy to offer lessons at any level for teachers who desire them. TLI is happy to provide full support to teachers wishing to incorporate this program into their practice, including planning, monitoring, and feedback. As we trial this system, we welcome suggestions from teachers and students and will adjust credential requirements and TLI support as needed through the trial. If you have questions, would like to book students, or would like to make requests for other content offerings, please contact TLI. TLI sends a warm thank you to Ju Yan, Jason Li , Phoebe Sun and Wang Chuan for their subject matter expert contributions to this initiative!

        为满足爱迪学子日益增长的个性化学习需求，北京爱迪学校教与学创新中心与时俱进，开发了全新的AidiX个性化学习微证书系统。现面向全校开放，欢迎各位老师和学生前来创新中心AR实验室体验课程！爱迪学校深信，在可预见的未来，任何技术都无法替代人与人之间那种独特而深刻的学习体验。教育不仅仅是知识的积累，更是关于如何将这些知识应用到不同的环境中，涉及社会情感的学习以及团队协作等以人为核心的重要元素。与此同时，我们也意识到许多学生或许能从探索个性化学习的机会中受益，这种学习方式以他们觉得新颖有趣且效果显著的技术为媒介。因此，TLI已将增强现实（AR）实验室重新开发为一个创新的微证书系统，并将其命名为AidiX，以致敬其他开创性的微证书系统，如HarvardX和EdX。

全新学习体验

        AidiX系统现已开放，学生可通过AidiX官方公众号预约课程，直接联系教与学创新中心（TLI）的老师，安排与我们会面，开启个性化学习之旅(包括课内和课外)，在个性化环境中探索自己的兴趣。学生可以参加单独的课程，或完成微证书的所有要求，最后将会获得TLI颁发的证书,这些都可以作为未来学习作品集的材料，为大学申请增添砝码。对视觉增强学习感兴趣的学生可扫码关注AidiX公众号进行报名：

技术辅助教学

        爱迪的教师也可以预订实验室，带领全班学生进行单独课程或整套课程的学习（班级数量控制在24名学生左右），并根据需要提供辅助或加强学习。如果希望探索翻转课堂，也可以与短视频微课进行结合。大多数AR课程都包含嵌入式电子学习单，有些课程则需要在官网提前下载在线的纸质版学习单。官网：https://zspace.com/edu/subject

        AR课程也可以作为直接教学前的探索性介绍，或作为课堂复习活动取代作业，尤其是结合优质的形成性评估实践（如交通灯）时效果更佳。如果希望全班学生在实验室完成某个微证书的所有要求，TLI将为学生打印证书，并直接颁发或交给教师颁发。教师还可以安排使用AR实验室，单独为个别或少数学生提供额外的增强学习支持（班级中学有余力的学生或基础薄弱的学生）。AidiX系统所有课程均提供中英文版本，因此教师可以根据需求选择语言，英语教师也可以使用相关的跨学科课程进行以不同领域为主题的英语课程。针对不同级别的课程，我们提供了建议的课程年龄组，同时也欢迎和支持教师使用不同级别课程。若教师希望将此项目纳入教学实践，TLI也将提供全面支持，包括课程规划、监控和反馈。在试用AidiX系统的过程中，欢迎教师和学生提出建议，我们将根据试用情况及时调整课程要求并提供全方位支持。如对课程预定有疑问，或对课程内容拓展有其他建议，请联系创新中心。AidiX系统目前可提供的课程及相关微型证书如下。

        北京爱迪学校教与学创新中心（TLI）通过以研究为基础的培训课程帮助教师提升职业能力，打造更有凝聚力的学习社区。TLI不仅是教师专业发展中心，更是一个教育研究中心，自主研发了一系列内部培训课程，包括：综合性的语言培训，项目式学习（PBL），课程设计，导师制促进教学等，还推出了AR（增强现实）辅助教学、3D 打印、机器人编程等技术教学培训。在国内的国际学校中，这种持续的内部培训和支持模式非常罕见。2022年，北京爱迪学校教与学创新中心 (TLI) 成为中国唯一一所能够提供完整的剑桥大学国际教师职业发展资格认证项目的中心；2023年6月中旬，教与学创新中心被剑桥国际考评部（隶属剑桥大学）评为东亚区最活跃剑桥国际教师专业发展中心。
