TeachRox-Personalized & adaptive learning.

Personalized and adaptive learning are two buzzwords that you might have heard a lot lately, but do you know what they mean and how they can benefit your students? In this blog post, we will explain the concepts, advantages, and challenges of both approaches, and how TeachRox can help you create personalized and adaptive learning experiences for your students.

Personalized and Adaptive Learning

This article by Deborah L. Taylor, Michelle Yeung, and A. Z. Bashet from SpringerLink provides a comprehensive overview of personalized and adaptive learning in higher education. It also showcases a hypothetical scenario of how a student and a professor use an adaptive system in a human physiology course.

According to the article, personalized learning is any learning design that considers the learner’s choice, preferences, and goals. Adaptive learning is a specific type of personalized learning that uses technology to monitor, analyze, and adjust the learning path based on the learner’s performance and progress.

The article highlights the benefits of adaptive learning for both students and instructors, such as increased engagement, motivation, retention, and achievement. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities of implementing adaptive learning in higher education, such as cost, accessibility, quality, and research.

This graphic illustrates the difference between personalized learning and adaptive learning in terms of the degree of customization and automation. Personalized learning can range from low to high customization depending on the learner’s choice, preferences, and goals. Adaptive learning can range from low to high automation depending on the system’s ability to monitor, analyze, and adjust the learning path.

As shown in the graphic, personalized learning and adaptive learning can overlap and complement each other. For example, a learner can choose a personalized learning path based on their interests and goals, and then use an adaptive system to receive optimal feedback and guidance along the way.

Adaptive Learning vs. Personalized Learning

This article by Clarity Consultants provides a practical guide on how to use both adaptive learning and personalized learning in corporate training. It also explains the difference between the two approaches and why adaptive learning is more agile than personalized learning.

According to the article, adaptive learning is a technology-based, interactive training method that adapts to the learner’s behavior and progress. Personalized learning is a broader concept that includes adaptive learning and customized learning together. However, personalized learning relies heavily on self-declarations of competence, which may not be accurate or consistent.

The article argues that adaptive learning is more agile than personalized learning because it can measure the degree of comprehension and adjust dynamically. It also claims that adaptive learning can provide a more personalized and effective learning experience for learners.
