Using adaptive learning technologies to adapt to each learner’s ability

“A primary school is using an Intelligent Tutoring System to automatically direct learners to resources specific to their learning needs. The AI based system uses learner data to adapt problems to the learner’s predicted knowledge levels. As well as providing constant feedback to the learner, the system provides real-time information on their progress on a teacher dashboard. The following guiding questions highlight areas that require attention: - Are the system processes and outcomes focussed on the expected learning outcomes for the learners? How reliable are the predictions, assessments and classifications of the AI system in explaining and evaluating the relevance of its use? Transparency- Does the system provide appropriate interaction modes for learners with disabilities or special education needs? Is the AI system designed to treat learners respectfully adapting to their individual needs? Diversity, non-Discrimination and Fairness - Are there monitoring systems in place to prevent overconfidence in or overreliance on the AI system? Human agency and oversight” (European Commission, 2022, p. 22)
