“Personalized learning” sounds great for any ear interested to hear about education advancements, but it also comes with a rather broad definition. The core idea is to offer each student the possibility to learn any subject based on their already available knowledge, level of interest and individual pace on the learning curve, in an environment that constantly adapts to their learning needs.
How exactly to deliver personalized learning is a matter of debate. The most efficient option is definitely a 1:1 approach. But this is far from being also effective. For too many students this can’t be an option. So educators are free to opt for the way they consider most appropriate to personalize their instruction. Which is not a bad thing, considering the many restrictions our standardized educational system implies.
