There are 5 factors that determine whether you are fit to implement an adaptive learning solution in your class.

Variation in students’ level of preparation for the course.

Students are all at different levels and you have to settle to accommodate all. Wouldn’t it be better if you did not have to do this and still increase your students’ outcomes? This is what adaptive learning is all about.

 

Too much material to cover too little time

There is too much material to cover in a very limited time. Your experience has showed you that students’ pace of learning can derail your syllabus planning. And while you can act as a content curator and facilitate learning, as this useful piece from Faculty Focus explains, technology helps you do this efficiently. Adaptive learning adapts content for each student. You are very busy so this saves you time so that you can truly focus on teaching and student inspiration.

 

Low student engagement

This is very common and it is not your fault. There’s a new study that examines a tool that measures the soundwaves of your classroom to better understand the amount of active learning.) Adaptive technology increases student engagement.

 

Student’s performance

There are times when students are very engaged, they show a lot of enthusiasm but they still struggle when they take a test. You can’t predict their outcomes! By the time you assess the class, it might be too late to help them where they are struggling. Colleges are beginning to link data to various social and psychological factors to project the likelihood of student success. Adaptive learning offers real-time adjustments that are the remedy to this problem.

 

Difficulty scaling one on one success

When you teach one on one you become like the David Copperfield of teaching. Your performance drops significantly when the class size increases. Shocking! Adaptive learning frees time for you to focus on what you love most about teaching.
