| Summary: | ABSTRACT. Ever since ancient times, education has been a topic of
interest for many civilizations. Seen as a means of progress, education
was the main focus for some countries like Finland, and almost ignored
by others.
In the last decade, a new term has appeared in regard to education:
adaptive learning. Used almost ubiquitous, the term has gained fame due
to its presence in a 2013 program launched by the Gates Foundation,
abbreviated ALMAP (Adaptive Learning Market Acceleration Program).
This program changed into a grant that funded 14 higher education
organizations to implement 9 adaptive learning products into 23 courses.
The aim was to test and gather data on the impact of these programs of
student outcomes. Almost instantly, the term became famous and used by
many in their marketing and promotional strategies. In this brief analysis,
we discuss the definitions, terminology, use, and pros and cons of
adaptive learning in online education. |
