Personalizing curriculum, pace, and support for learners can improve retention, satisfaction, and learning success while reducing time to completion and tuition costs. The successful implementation of personalized learning programs, however, requires careful coordination of data and communications and ongoing collaboration among faculty, enrollment managers, success coaches, and students.

As educators seeking to innovate for our students, we became
frustrated by complex legacy enterprise systems that created
silos and prevented us from successfully implementing
personalized learning programs that improve student
outcomes, affordability, and job readiness.

8. What makes personalized learning so effective?
Relevant
Right for the learner, at the right time. Builds
on prior knowledge.
Engaging
Inspires & motivates. Gets learner’s attention.
Contextual
Provides big picture, connects to existing
knowledge and metal modes.
Effortful
Hard is good. Demands emotional
investment. Failure with feedback is the
norm.
Generative
Learner reflects, learner elaborates in their
own words and approaches.
Social
Engages groups of people. Allows for co-
discovery and co- creation of content.
Practice
It’s spaced, not crammed. Interwoven with
other practice of varied kinds.
Spaced
Distributed over time. Requires retrieval and
re-engagement.

10. Why are personalization efforts so important?
Investment in and deployment of
suitable technology
Lack of clear ownership
and accountability
Failure to prioritize
student relationships
Lack of clarity around student
outcomes, their metrics, and
interrelationships
Organizational barriers
Lack of focus on teaching quality
