RESOURCE: 5 Intuitions about Adaptive Learning Platforms
Intuition 1: Adaptive Learning Platforms Will Prove to Be the Most Significant Learning Advance Over the Next Decade:
Looking back on the edtech landscape in 2025 we will remember the last 12 years as a story dominated by the growth of adaptive learning and the associated analytics that these platforms make possible. MOOCs will be an interesting blip, but not the real story.
Mobile learning, and the rapid growth of postsecondary students in the emerging economies will be important trends, but these developments will also have an important adaptive learning component. Most adaptive learning will take place on mobile devices, and very quickly most of this mobile adaptive learning will take place in emerging economies.
Intuition 2: Adaptive Learning and Analytics Are Inseperable and Mutually Reinforcing Trends:
The real story of adaptive learning platforms are data.
The data enables the systems to dynamically offer new learning pathways and different content types to students.
