Education: Learning technologists aspire to create a more efficient and more engaging learning experience through the delivery of educational content through services that can dynamically adapt delivery based on the mastery and performance data of the individual learner. Adaptive learning software applies a set of rules for the interpretation of data collected from the learner, and using metadata related to educational content, increases the likelihood that the most appropriate learning experience is presented. While much work needs to be done to make this vision reality, services such as Knewton, Aleks, and Lrnr have illustrated the promise of this approach and how the computing power of the platform can be harnessed to create value for users.
