Traditional differentiated instruction has long recognized that learners possess unique strengths, interests, and learning preferences. However, the manual implementation of truly personalized learning experiences has remained a significant challenge for educators managing diverse classrooms. As we advance into the AI era, differentiated learning and teaching is naturally evolving toward adaptive learning and teaching—a more dynamic, responsive approach that adjusts in real-time to learner behaviors, preferences, and performance.
Key takeaways:
Understanding the evolutionary progression from differentiated to adaptive learning approaches
Recognizing the role of AI in enabling true adaptive teaching methodologies
Vision for the future of adaptive education in AI-enhanced learning ecosystems
