Abstract

Adaptive Learning Systems (ALS) aim to provide differentiated instructions at a personalized level of learning. While the number of students enrolled in a fully online learning environment is growing rapidly, the amount of personalization that an online facilitator can provide becomes limited, which increases the need for an ALS for more effective and efficient teaching and learning. Review of literature indicates that though studies on ALS have been conducted for more than a decade, the adoption rate of ALS in higher education is still low. One of the main issues of the low adoption of ALS is faculty support. Due to lack of comprehensive and systematic understanding of ALS, faculty in higher education is reluctant to the changes brought by ALS and doubtful of the feasibility and applicability of ALS. To address this issue, the paper presents a pilot trial which includes a three-stage implementation model of ALS in a fully online learning higher education organization as a case study.
