Face 2: Type of Offering
Adaptive Learning Technologies can be loosely grouped into three different categories.
Closed systems
- provide existing course content that educators can immediately implement in their classroom
- do not allow the teacher to adjust content, pacing or sequence to meet their own unique curricular objectives
Open systems
- afford teachers control over all configurations of the learning environment
- simply support teacher generated content and, therefore, can be time consuming for the teacher to implement
Hybrid systems
- contain existing lessons and activities and teachers are provided some control over the sequence of activities
- gaining popularity as they balance the time required to develop an adaptive learning course while still providing teachers some control over the content and pacing of learning activities
