- Goals (G): Identify Differentiated Learning Objectives
- Resources (R): Choose Tools for Differentiation
- Observe (O): Pilot and Reflect with Differentiated Strategies
- Work Together (W): Collaborate with Peers on Differentiation
Exactly how this is done matters, in my view. In traditional education, it's done by the teacher. In learning engineering, it's done by a computer. In my view, it's done by the student. Some people may suggest a combination (eg., teacher plus student) but then by default it's just the most powerful agent doing it (eg. in this case, the teacher)
