On occasion, we at the Air Force Academy find students who have acquired gaps in their understanding as they progress through the math curriculum - Differential, Integral, Multivariate Calculus, Stats, et al. Question, is there a plug-in software that identifies prior learning gaps that will steer you to associated instructional video?

You may have already addressed the query proposed, but I am compelled to answer as a former Airman. 

Problem I am reading: Gaps in student success in math curriculum. (They may successfully navigate the objective, but your angle of attack is knocking the rust off quicker)

Inquiry: Have you worked with the department that establishes learner profiles? 

I took your query and inserted it into ChatGPT and here is what it said.... 

"As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there wasn't a specific plugin software that served exactly this purpose. However, there were several adaptive learning platforms, which analyze student performance and provide targeted resources based on identified learning gaps. Examples of such platforms include Khan Academy, Aleks, and SAGEMath.

These platforms often come with video lessons, practice problems, and other educational resources, and they adapt to students' needs by analyzing performance on practice problems. They can then identify learning gaps and direct students towards resources to fill these gaps.

If you're looking to integrate this kind of functionality with your existing software, you might need to look into a custom solution or API integration. It's also possible that newer tools have been developed since my last training data in 2021.

It's worth mentioning that while these systems can be very helpful, they are not a complete substitute for personalized instruction. The most effective learning often comes from a blend of adaptive resources and direct instruction from an educator.

Always remember that technology is continually evolving, and there may be new resources available beyond my last training data. For the most current information, I would recommend conducting a new search or consulting with an educational technology specialist."
