Personalized learning is a continuous learning journey that can constantly optimize, by means
of adaptive learning technology, for you and your specific learning goals.
Yet effectively teaching math to a broad range of learners has become a problem of scale that may be solved with the addition
of adaptive learning technologies to the classroom.
Adaptive learning, and intelligent
adaptive learning technology in particular which tailors learning to the individual student provides many benefits for students and educators:
Adaptive learning technology focuses on your individual learning destination and makes intelligent adjustments for you based on where you're at and what you need, whether you know it or not, determining those needs via data analytics and responsive and adaptive design.
According to a study of colleges employing adaptive learning tech by learning science company McGraw - Hill Education (which works with D2L),
adaptive learning technology improves student retention by as much as 20 percentage points, and pass rates by as much as 13 percentage points.
There's a good reason
why adaptive learning technology was number one on Gartner's list of top 10 strategic technologies impacting higher education in 2015 and 2016: it transforms teaching and learning for the better.
Schools» spending on
adaptive learning technology products topped $ 41 million in each of the last two years — and it has tripled since 2013, according to a new Noodle Markets report shared exclusively with EdWeek Market Brief.
Effectively
implementing adaptive learning technology starts with rigorous curriculum design, well - researched and thoughtfully implemented technology, and professional development for educators where necessary — all brought to bear with a deep focus on making sure that instructors are comfortable and capable, and that students have a seamless and engaging experience.
And, by enabling insightful instructor feedback and providing screen - based awards and badges to promote and reward progress,
adaptive learning technology instills confidence in students, particularly those that struggle.
For instructors, it can provide deep insights into how a student, a group of students, or a piece of curriculum is performing —
adaptive learning technology gathers data on students» knowledge, skills and confidence and uses it to modify materials or tasks presented to a student.
«Sebit will now be able to provide personalized learning experiences at the concept level by partnering with Knewton and embedding our portfolio of products with cutting -
edge adaptive learning technology,» said Ahmet Eti, CEO, Sebit.
Sebit will integrate Knewton -
powered adaptive learning technology first into Adaptive Curriculum, its web - based math and science lessons designed for grades 5 - 12, creating Sebit's first personalized learning environment.
This would be a Herculean task for any one teacher, especially at a time when class sizes and demands are growing, but fortunately, data -
driven adaptive learning technology is making it possible.
Unlike any
other adaptive learning technology on the market today, the pioneering Intelligent Adaptive Learning ™ of DreamBox Learning © platform adapts in real time to every interaction a student makes, both within and between lessons.
To solve this issue, and particularly for elementary schools to align with new standard mandates for math and language arts, many school districts have turned to the use
of adaptive learning technology in blended learning environments, according to the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation.
Student engagement with practicing concepts and homework tends to be higher
with adaptive learning technology than without it because students are engaging with learning activities that are presented at the right time for the right purpose.
In an effort to improve their Turkish language proficiency, refugee children were presented with over 200 Turkish words via
the adaptive learning technology platform Cerego.
Interactive and
adaptive learning technologies can allow students to learn in their own style and at their own pace.
This requires continued investments in our pioneering Intelligent
Adaptive Learning technology that so many others seek to emulate.
Adaptive learning technologies would give rise to completely personalized environments with content that not only changes but are actually created based on the individual needs of the learner.
For example,
adaptive learning technology is used by NASA for simulation training, safety models, and has been used in various branches of the U.S. military, including the Army Learning Concept 2015, that trains and educates soldiers for asymmetric warfare.
Although the teacher can by no means be replaced in the classroom, hardware devices and
adaptive learning technologies are a great «assistant» to improve students» educational experiences.
Investment in
adaptive learning technology is likely to continue to grow, the researchers found.
DreamBox Learning Math and its Intelligent
Adaptive Learning technology is researched - based, and fits within the RtI / MTSS model.
At its core,
adaptive learning technology is about enabling instructors to help learners drive better learning outcomes through personalization.
An adaptive learning technology focused on helping students and instructors boost proficiency in math and chemistry from PreK through higher education.
Developed using Knewton's
adaptive learning technology and Alinea's proven content, CampMat is a dynamic digital curriculum that delivers individualized instruction based on real - time analysis of what a student knows, how she learns, and her stated learning goals.
Adaptive and Personalized Learning:
Adaptive learning technology is another innovation contributing to the personalized learning trend by providing teachers with a means to tailor content to each individual student's academic skill level.
