Promising Research Results On Specific Forms Of Adaptive Learning / ITS

Phil Hill, e-Literate, July 10, 2015

If we look to published research reports there are other studies that back up the potential of adaptive approaches, but the most promising results appear to be for a subset of adaptive systems that provide not just content selection but also tutoring.

Research shows “the use of ITS produced moderate, statistically significant mean effect sizes” compared to large-group human instruction, individual CBI, and textbooks / workbooks. The results showed no statistically significant mean effect sizes compared to small-group human instruction and individual tutoring
