Too Long; Didn't Read

An adaptive learning system is software where algorithms optimize the content to adjust for the learner’s goals and current state of knowledge. In a traditional e-learning course, you will linearly follow the path an instructor creates. The order will change for each learner based on two things: Goal and prior knowledge. We learn and optimize by making some paths more likely to connect than other paths. The strongest predictor of how we perform in a learning environment is our prior knowledge. Reviewing prior knowledge before showing new information impacts learning outcomes.
