Adaptive Learning Systems: Tailoring Education to Individual Needs

Love is in the air and at Unboxed Training and Technology, there’s nothing we love more than learning. This month we’ll focus on adaptive learning. In any thriving relationship, partners actively seek to understand each other’s preferences, unique needs, and communication styles. Personalization is the key to keeping relationships fresh. So, what does that mean for learning?

At its core, adaptive learning, is all about personalization – tailoring the learning journey to each individual’s unique needs.

What is Adaptive Learning?

Adaptive learning uses AI and machine learning to create personalized educational experiences. This involves analyzing learners’ responses and behaviors and adjusting the content, pace, and learning method in real time based on a learner’s abilities, preferences, and progress. Similar to how understanding your partner’s preferred love language strengthens your relationship, adaptive learning allows for a relevant and effective learning process because it personalizes the experience for the learner. It’s differentiation at its finest since the learning is tailored to meet individual needs.
