The future of e-learning is adaptive

The term adaptive learning refers to a  technology capable of evaluating the student’s skills, knowledge, and confidence levels. The technology constantly assesses how the student responds to the material. That way, the student’s learning material becomes much more targeted since subjects are filtered out that do not require more attention, leaving more time to focus on weaker areas. 

The personalised course is a much more tailor-made learning experience compared to traditional e-learning, which, in the end, will enable students to achieve the desired goals faster and more efficiently.

Benefits of adaptive learning
Before diving into basic concepts around adaptive learning, here is a quick overview of the key benefits compared to traditional e-learning or classroom training:

• It cuts training time in half
• Provides higher proficiency 
• Provides higher retention due to intelligently spaced repetitions
• Uncovers and fixes unconscious incompetence
• Improves engagement and reduces frustration
• Rich learning analytics 
• Supports instructor with data to focus efforts – ideal for blended programmes
• It helps guide learners’ learning.

It utilises insights from biology as well as computer science. The learner’s study material will be tailored to each person’s specific needs and competences based on data.
