Adaptive courses come in many forms, but generally respond to the learner’s existing knowledge and skills: thereby optimizing the time to completion. But do they improve learning outcomes?
In this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by Roy de Vries, Learning Innovator at aNewSpring, to explore the results of an experiment they ran to compare adaptive vs linear courses.
We discuss:
Forms of adaptive learning content;
The potential advantages of adaptive learning;
The results of an experiment carried out by aNewSpring.
Details of the study we discussed are online at: anewspring.com/articles/adaptive-learning-reduce-study-time
During the discussion, Ross referenced our AI-powered difficult conversation simulator: AI Conversations. It gives your people an opportunity to practice a variety of off-the-shelf or custom scenarios. You can find details on our website: mindtools.com/business/products/ai-conversations
In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Owen recommended the book Smart Swam, by Peter Millers.
If you want to hear The L&D Dispatch jingle again (and why wouldn’t you?), it’s available from Suno.com.
