What is Adaptive Learning?

• Adaptive learning is an approach to education
  that uses technology to personalize the learning
  experience for individual students. It is a
  method of teaching and learning that adjusts to
  the student's individual needs, abilities, and
  learning styles. Adaptive learning uses data and
  algorithms to identify the strengths and
  weaknesses of each student, and then delivers
  personalized learning materials and activities
  that are tailored to the student's needs.
• Adaptive learning systems typically use
  artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to
  analyse data on student performance and
  behaviour. This data is then used to identify
  patterns, make predictions, and create
  personalized learning paths for each student. For
  example, an adaptive learning system might
  identify that a student is struggling with a
  particular concept, and then provide additional
  practice materials or alternative explanations
  until the student demonstrates mastery.

Benefits of adaptive learning-

• Personalized learning Adaptive learning can
  provide personalized instruction to each student,
  based on their individual needs, abilities, and
  learning style. This helps to ensure that
  students are learning at a pace that is
  appropriate for them, and are receiving the
  support and resources they need to succeed.
• Increased engagement By providing interactive
  and personalized learning experiences, adaptive
  learning can help to increase student engagement
  and motivation. This can lead to higher levels of
  student participation, and ultimately, better
  learning outcomes.
• Improved retention Adaptive learning can help to
  improve knowledge retention by providing students
  with targeted, timely feedback and reinforcement.
  This helps to reinforce key concepts and prevent
  knowledge decay over time.
• Flexibility Adaptive learning can be delivered
  in a variety of formats, including online,
  blended, or classroom-based instruction. This
  flexibility allows educators to tailor the
  learning experience to the needs of their
  students and the constraints of their
  environment.
• Cost-effective Adaptive learning can be more
  cost-effective than traditional classroom-based
  instruction, as it can reduce the need for costly
  textbooks and other materials, and can be
  delivered at scale to large numbers of students.

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 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
  best learning experience software 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.

Which Courses Are A Good Fit For Adaptive
Learning?

• Not every discipline is the ideal candidate for
  adaptive learning. Courses that contain a lot of
  subjective learning activities, such as
  literature papers, research projects or forums,
  are not recommended for the adaptive learning
  model. These tasks often centre on specific
  opinions and would not capitalize on the
  problem-solving aspect of the instructional
  software.
• Alternatively, classes that centre on objective
  knowledge or a skill could greatly benefit from
  the adaptive learning model. The technological
  programs can quickly assess student knowledge and
  grade the content. Using the answers given, the
  software can also assess relationships and
  connections given between the content itself.
  Courses that have a large portion of automatic
  grading are ideal candidates for this learning
  model. They could then use a few subjective
  activities, such as an essay or a research
  project, to ensure that they utilize various
  types of evaluations.
