What Is Adaptive Learning?

• Adaptive learning typically occurs on a web-based
  platform. The software contains all of the
  important information related to the class and is
  able to guide the students along in their
  learning journey. As a student completes their
  work on the platform, the software is able to
  make calculated decisions for the best course of
  action for the student. Each journey is
  personalized to the student based on their unique
  needs.

How Does It Work?

• Courses that follow the adaptive learning model
  are created on a web-based platform. All
  information required for the course would be
  found on the best microlearning platform. There
  would be activities, assessments, and
  materials required for all learning tasks. After
  a student completes an evaluation, the software
  would select the most appropriate level of tasks
  to work on. They would continue to be guided
  towards the most relevant activity based on their
  performance. Some students may speed through the
  lessons easily while others may need to review
  prior material. As the students continue to
  engage with the platform, it becomes more attuned
  to their needs, and can therefore select
  materials that will help them achieve the
  learning goals.

Benefits Of Adaptive Learning

• Students were able to choose the speed or pace at
  which they worked.
• Students were more motivated to complete their
  work due to visible progress charts.
• They also enjoyed the teachers support and
  explanations during practice problems.
• Students reported learning more if the content
  was taught using adaptive learning.
• They experienced less stress due to the adaptive
  pace, as students must be ready to move on before
  new concepts are introduced.
• They experienced greater overall success due to
  their dedication to the content. Their study
  skills also greatly improved as they were able to
  control the pace and level of difficulty because
  of the self-paced and just-in-time nature of it.
