Lessons from Adopting an Adaptive Platform

The American Women's College at Bay Path University has spent the last year implementing an adaptive learning platform in several online courses. The data captured in such a system can benefit all stakeholders—students, faculty, subject matter experts, course builders—with improved outcomes and identification of areas for improvement. Adoption can be a challenge since the design and learning experiences of an adaptive course is quite different from traditional online and on-ground courses. Attendees will learn some of the challenges and best practices that TAWC has gleaned from its experience in this area.

Outcomes: Describe adaptive learning and its components * Identify the challenges and rewards of adopting an adaptive platform * Identify methods to overcome challenges or barriers to adoption of an adaptive learning platform
