What is an Adaptive Learning System?
An Adaptive Learning System (ALS) is a Learning Management System (LMS)that, quite simply, can adapt to the needs of the learner. Unlike a traditional LMS, which acts as a repository of information and a tool for the training administrator to assign modules and track progress, an ALS assigns modules based on learner needs/styles/competence level/etc. And there’s more. It has the ability to assess learner progress and account for this while creating the learning path.
Adaptive learning systems endeavor to transform the learner from passive receptor of information to collaborator in the educational process
