Adaptivity is an important theme that educators, researchers, and developers prioritize when working with emerging technologies. In Digital Promise listening sessions, we learned that educators have high awareness of the many dimensions of learner variability, including both learners’ strengths and their needs. Adaptivity can support learner variability. While teachers already differentiate lessons and support students, in response to Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for example, teachers find differentiation to be time-consuming and challenging work. Our listening session participants were optimistic that artificial intelligence (AI) could support teachers to adapt their lessons to better serve the individual learners in their classrooms.
On this Digital Learning Day, we reflect on how educators across the country are beginning to use AI to create adaptive learning opportunities for every student — and we share our view of the important work that lies ahead.
