FAQ about Adaptive Learning (from Achieving the Dream)
What is adaptive courseware?
- A digital teaching tool with instruction and assessments scoped and sequenced to support an entire course
- Provides personalized and nonlinear instruction by analyzing students’ responses and pointing them to activities based on their needs
- Provides instructors with data about each student’s progress and learning so they can modify instruction in response
What are the benefits for students?
- Allows students to move through the course material flexibly based on their demonstrated knowledge and skills
- Can change the content or degree of difficulty to keep students engaged
- Provides immediate feedback so students can self-assess and continue to progress
- Allows for more interactive learning experiences than a textbook
What are the benefits for instructors?
- Automated assessments and analytics give instructors real-time data on students’ progress and areas of need
- Instructors can see how students are interacting with the course material (time spent on activities, study habits)
- Frees up instructors to spend more class time on interactive activities that build on student engagement with content outside of class
What are the benefits for institutions?
- Potential to improve student success rates in foundational courses
- Provides richer student data than is possible with textbooks
- Potential to reduce the cost of course materials
- Can help institutions meet their larger goals (e.g., improved affordability, access, retention, equity)
