10 ways adaptive learning can help students succeed
1. Personal tutor
Hiring a personal tutor for each student would be extremely expensive (not to mention the fact that such a proposal would have a tough time getting past the school board), but intelligent adaptive learning programs make this possible. Research shows that tutoring can be twice as effective as classroom instruction, which is encouraging given that intelligent tutoring systems achieve results are comparable to those of their human counterparts.
2. Students set the pace
One of the major challenges that teachers face is setting a pace of instruction that isn’t too fast for struggling students or too slow for those who are gifted. Allowing students to work at their own pace can significantly increase their achievement, particularly if they are given feedback as they learn. Intelligent adaptive learning makes this possible.
