PersonalizedLearning
• Personalized learning adjusts the pace (individualized), adjusts the approach (differentiation), and connects learner’s experiences and interests.
• The learner is an active participant in designing their learning.
• The use of technology, data, different teaching methods, and learning approaches combined to create an environment that meets individual learner’s needs.
Why transition to Personalized Learning?
The traditional classroom model
has some serious challenges.
Despite having different needs, all learners are treated the same.
