Why is adaptive learning so important?
Students …Improved learning effectiveness through personalized supportReduced learning times through personalised pathways
Instructors …Enhanced data and tools for helping studentsIncreased automation of teaching tasks
University / Organizational Administrators …Higher completion rates and reduced delivery costsIncreased use of data driven methods

High level definition of adaptive learning used widely in the research literature:
“A technology that automatically adapts learning delivery to an audience or an
individual”
Here are eight key questions to help you to define the type of adaptive learning
tool more specifically…

Eight key attributes of an adaptive system
1. When are the data gathered and recommendations
made?
2. What data drives adaptation?
3. What is adapted?
4. What methods are used to drive adaptation?
5. What end-use applications are supported?
6. How extensive and scalable is the solution?
7. How open is the content development model?
8. How open is the data model?
