Personalizing the Learning Experience: Integrating Adaptive Elements in Online Courses

Thursday, November 10, 2016 11:30 a.m. to noon

About this Seminar:

Supporting the learning needs of students in online courses is commonly perceived as challenging for instructors, as the time and effort needed to master particular concepts may vary widely. Adaptive learning, an educational method which adapts presentation of material and assessment according to students’ unique learning needs, is gaining popularity in online courses. In this session, we will provide an overview of adaptive learning approaches, describe real-life examples, consider the instructor’s role in personalizing the experience, share available support and resources, and encourage a call to action for attendees. Specifically, an instructor’s experience of integrating personalized adaptive elements into online courses using the Realizeit platform will be presented.

Presenters:

  • Debbie Hahs-Vaughn, PhD with the College of Education and Human Performance
  • Corrinne Stull, MA with the Center for Distributed Learning

About Faculty Seminars in Online Teaching:

These stand-alone seminars are offered periodically for collegial dialogue around best practices in online teaching. They are co-presented by the Center for Distributed Learning and members of the UCF teaching faculty. While this series is designed with online faculty in mind as an on-going follow-up to IDL6543, all members of the UCF community with an interest in online teaching are invited to participate. To more flexibly meet the needs of our diverse community, seminars are highly focused (i.e., 30 minutes for presentation and discussion), include numerous "take-away" resources, and are recorded for later review.
