Designing for Adaptive Learning Programs

How do we move from "one size fits all" training to one tailored to each individual learner and context? How do we build large-scale programs capable of adapting to each person's needs in real time based on data rather than opinion or tradition? How do we approach and integrate new A.I. technologies into our work processes - how much is panic, how much is fashion, what is actually useful?

Target audience and benefits

This short training program is dedicated to trainers and instructional designers. Its aim is to equip you with the key knowledge and perspectives needed to understand the mechanics of mass customisation.

In this short course you will acquire the following:

  • an understanding of how the course development process changes when we want them to be adaptive: how do we develop content and activities that allow a variety of learning pathways to be configured?
  • what does an adaptive learning program architecture look like and how does it differ from a traditional one-size-fits-all?
  • how do we choose the right technology for the implementation and ongoing evaluation of adaptive programs? Are there affordable options?

Agenda and program content

Duration: 2 online sessions of 2 hours each, separated by a 15-minute break.

Methodology: it alternates explanations and examples with practice on generic projects and moments of collaborative reflection.

Platform: Zoom Meetings for live sessions. Additionally, participants receive access to a dedicated group in the Learn@E-Campus platform where they have at their disposal the program content, resources, and support from fellow students.

Group: a maximum of 12-15 people to ensure an optimal level of interactivity and collaboration.

Here is the content and activities of the program, ordered according to the different impact areas targeted:

    MINDSET      

The perspective of mass customisation

One-size-fits-all approaches and extensive libraries of resources available to learners offer low levels of engagement and impact in skills development. Adaptive learning programs solve this problem.

  • learning psychology - what needs do learners feel in different learning scenarios and objectives; where and how do they need a personalised pathway and 1-to-1 support?
  • what trainer mindset do adaptive programs entail? From focusing on programs and course groups to focusing on learners and their individual specificities.
  • the principles of 'multi-course' thinking - getting used to modularising content and activities to allow for greater diversity.

    KNOWLEDGE      

Useful practices in content modularization

Relevant and impactful practices in modular digital instructional design. Aligning content, delivery methods and level of difficulty to the specifics of each learner involved in the program.

  • understanding the different dimensions of training personalisation
  • familiarisation with psychological profiling of participants
  • the relationship between Learner Persona Audit, Training Needs Analysis and Training Needs Assessment
  • familiarity with the I.D. Matrix & the Instructional Design process dedicated to adaptive programs and systems
  • understanding the technological framework for implementing adaptive learning pathways in companies

    PRACTICE      

Getting used to working practices

Collaborative practice on generic projects, with feedback from the trainer and group mates. You will learn the prerequisites for skills that you can then practise on your own.

  • collaborative reflection exercises - analysis of adaptive training scenarios in predefined contexts
  • working on a generic project - ordering adaptive learning paths proposed by E-Campus

    TECHNOLOGY      

Examples of relevant technologies

In this program, you will become familiar with the technical functionalities useful for implementing adaptive training programs. We will also go through some examples of online applications and platforms.

  • Adaptive functionalities of e-learning authoring applications
  • Examples of adaptive functionalities of LMS platforms
  • EdTech case studies: Edyoucated, Sana, Learn@E-Campus

    COMMUNITY      

Optimal collaboration and support ratio

Upon enrolment in the programme you will receive access to the Learn@E-Campus platform, a collaborative learning and working space. What you will find here:

  • course resources and materials for study and recall
  • spaces for discussion and collaboration with colleagues
  • support from the trainer during the course session
  • L&D E-Campus community news, articles and events
  • MINDSET
