English teacher and author Benjamin Doxtdator examines the popularity behind personalised learning. Doxtdator looks at how media funded by “venture philanthropists” has “emerged to push the agenda of ‘personalised learning’ as a solution to what’s broken in the US and global education systems.” According to Doxtdator, venture philanthropists aim to profit from personalised learning by creating more markets for software and solutions. He advocates for people to educate themselves on these issues and create communities to share critical perspectives.
