A decade ago the UK government developed a vision for personalisation in adult education and the Department for Education said that ‘personalised learning is an idea that is captivating the imagination of teachers, children and young people across the country’. The belief was personalised learning has the potential to make learning ‘stretching, creative, fun and successful’.
In actual fact an element of education and workplace learning has always been personalised with individuals being directed to learning materials in response to assessment of their current level of knowledge. Personalised learning has for a long time been recognised as good practice in education (although not so evident in the workplace), however many teachers and trainers would say that truly personalising learning for individuals is challenging. In the past I would have agreed, but things have changed and it is technology which has brought us the solutions for personalising learning.
