"Adaptive Learning Systems - The State of the Field" 

Speaker: Michael Madaio

Tuesday, March 24 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Klaus 2405

Please join us for a seminar on adaptive learning systems, examining the current set of providers, their capabilities, and their limitations. There has recently been great promise and interest in the use of adaptive learning systems to provide personalized course content, tailored to the ability levels and pace of individual students, yet, not all the technologies in this space provide the same capabilities. In this seminar we will discuss case studies from other institutions using adaptive learning systems, present research on their efficacy in improving student learning outcomes and student retention, and discuss implications for faculty and administrators interested in evaluating, selecting, and implementing an adaptive learning system.
