| Abstract: |
Personalized learning--learning that is connected to each individual's development, background, interests, and experiences--provides an approach that broadly and equitably supports educators' efforts to empower learners as individuals. Personalized learning offers a path to effectively support the growing diversity of the population of students by understanding how individual learners learn best and actively engage, motivate, and inspire them with the right resources at the right time, in the right medium, and at the right pace. Current models that drive personalization remain overly simplistic and are rarely based on research. These over-simplified models risk driving personalization in a way that leaves diverse learners behind. This paper highlights the need for researchers, the education community, and technology developers to implement new models that take personalized learning to the next level. |
