Adaptive Learning Systems

Adaptive Learning Systems are educational technology platforms that use algorithms and data analytics to personalize learning experiences for individuals. They dynamically adjust content, pace, and difficulty based on a learner's performance, preferences, and goals, often in real-time. These systems are commonly used in online education, corporate training, and skill development to optimize learning outcomes.

Also known as: Adaptive Learning Platforms, Personalized Learning Systems, Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Adaptive Education Technology, ALS
