Michael Feldstein provides an overview of adaptive learning technology, broadly described as “software that observes some aspect of student performance and adjusts what it presents to each student based on those observations.” He states that the potential of adaptive learning technologies is to be “transformative in that they may be able to change the economics of tutoring” by being able to provide the individualized support similar to that of a tutor. However, he warns that instructors must decide how much to “trust the software to do what it claims it can do” and that it is “critical to develop a clear and well-articulated position on which teaching functions the software can fulfill and which it can’t in order to defend the value of a real college education and the faculty who deliver it.”
