edX is working on a project in adaptive learning as a way to create a path to individualized education at scale. Nimisha Asthagiri, a principal software engineer at edX, has produced an interesting document that will be presented during the first Open edX Developer Summit, which will take place on June 1 after the Open edX 2018 conference.
edX’s approach starts with the Pearson definition of Adaptive Learning –”Education technologies that can respond to a student’s interactions in real-time by automatically providing the student with individual support”–, analyzes the requirements, interoperable standards and technologies, and ends up suggesting an adaptive framework to be implemented in the edX platform.
