Higher Ed | K-12 - White Paper; Vineet Madan, Travis Hamilton, & Jay Chakrapani
The authors discuss "adaptive learning", a term used to describe interactive, digital and web-based software programs as a means for real-time tracking of individual student's current and changing state of knowledge on a given subject. These programs incorporate and are continually updated as pedagogical advances are made in any given field. The authors highlight and site research suppoting three of McGraw-Hill's adaptive programs - LearnSmart, Power of U, and ALEKS®. These showcase adaptive learning technologies with proven, research-based content, high-quality instructional design, and assessment capabilities to deliver personalized learning systems. As software technologies continue to develop, it may soon be possible to provide all students at all levels of education with the adaptive learning tools that provide virtually the same service as a human tutor at a much lower cost.
