Adaptive Learning to meet each student where they are. Adaptive learning is like having a personal tutor for every student. By constantly assessing a student's strengths and weaknesses, adaptive learning platforms can dynamically adjust the difficulty and pace of content delivery. This personalized approach ensures that each student is challenged at their own level, which is in line with the "zone of proximal development" theory.

1. Tailored to students' needs

Immediate feedback Instant feedback provides students with immediate insights into their performance. This allows learners to identify and rectify mistakes on the spot, reinforcing correct understanding and preventing the solidification of misconceptions. It is a powerful tool for promoting self-awareness, empowering students to take an active role in their learning. The timely acknowledgment of success can also boosts confidence and motivation.

2. Immediate feedback

Motivation Motivation is known to be a key factor in learning success. There are many factors that can impact learner motivation. Adaptive learning technology helps learners stay motivated by ensuring that the content they are presented with is at the right level for them. Content that is too easy can lead to boredom, and content that is too hard could make learners want to give up! Additionnally, some adaptive learning platforms adapt to learners' preferences which can in turn make learning feel more relevant.

2. PrIVACY CONCERNS

1. Difficult to build

Building an adaptive system Adaptive systems often rely on complex algorithm (most often than not involving machine learning) to be effective.Adaptive systems also require a lot of time, computer power, and large amounts of data which are not easy to collect.

1. Difficult to build

Privacy concernsBuilding and improving adaptive platforms relies heavily on parsing large amounts of user data. For example, one way to figure out what a learner needs next is to look at other learners with similar aptitudes and see what there next step was. Some research even tracks biometric data for adaptivity (such as through eye tracking, or keystroke logging). Figuring out how companies store and use all this data is not always straightforward.

2. Privacy concerns

Lack of customization Because of the complexity of adaptive systems, companies often have very specific, 1-purpose adaptive algorithms which may or may not meet the needs of teachers. For example, an adaptive platform might offer adaptive content generation but not adaptive curriculum and vice-versa. There is no adaptivity options for teachers and learners.

3. Lack of customization
