  • Personalized and adaptive learning has the ability to change learning content or the mode of delivery on the fly and to provide real-time feedback to learners
  • Personalized learning paths:
  • Personalized learning paths are either pregenerated based on job roles, org charts, competencies required, etc., or can be changed dynamically based on learners’ progress, interest or some other criteria.
  • Chatbots:
  • intelligent tutoring system, that present a learning concept with a series of conversations
  • pinpoint a certain learning pattern, such as significant spikes in course failings, so instructors can intervene before it is too late.
  • Performance indicator
  • Prediction could be too prescriptive
  • Preferences are largely context dependent
  • There is usually not enough data to make useful recommendations.
  • Machine learning and big data analysis cannot sufficiently replace instructor observations and feedback from learners, peers and managers
  • Adaptive learning is costly and time consuming to build
  • granularity is an issue
  • Will you adapt at the curriculum level, course level or module level? Per activity or scenario? A content system requires constant updating and monitoring, especially with multiple pathways.
  • A focus on good instructional design and interaction principles is sufficient.
  • Algorithm black box
  • researchers in AI and machine learning say that algorithms used by organizations can be opaque and discriminatory.
  • One notion to counter algorithm black box is advocating the use of explainable AI. Essentially, XAI programs enable users to understand and provide input on the decision-making process to improve algorithmic accountability.
  • Trust
  • ownership and governance of data is often ill-defined or not defined at all
  • huge amount of personal data.
  • What happens when the prediction goes wrong? Should you make recommendations to learners who don’t want them? Who owns those data?
