Knowledge, Learning, Community

Not all personalized learning the same. That's the main message in this article. The authors write, "The current use of the term 'personalized learning' varies from:

  • small group instruction based on performance levels to
  • longitudinal history of all assessments students ever took to provide them with knowledge of what to assign to
  • artificial intelligence based products that assess the cognitive level and learning style of a student and provide a variety of resources based on the student's learning style, current performance, and understanding of a subject."

True enough, and I've read accounts of all three. But these days people almost universally mean the third. Almost universally. The first two versions are essentially terms applied to in-person learning applied without the use of technology.
