Choosing the Right Adaptive Learning Technology | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

An Adaptive Learning Program (ALP) is a computer-based educational system that allows teachers to modify the way they present materials based on the performance of individual students.

 

The history of ALPs is rooted in 1950s cognitive psychology and the 1970s artificial intelligence movement. A proven teaching method, ALPs are now used in varied environments to train and teach more effectively. For example, NASA uses ALPs for safety models and simulation training. They’ve also been used by the U.S. military, including the 2015 Army Learning Concept that educated and trained soldiers for asymmetric engagement. But ALP’s most significant potential to help the most people is likely in the educational field.
