ABSTRACT:
Personalized learning is an instruction to optimize learning according to the needs of each
learner. In 2005, Dan Buckley defined two ends of the personalized learning spectrum:
"personalization for the learner", and "personalization by the learner". it is a learner centric,
and it has diverse range of approaches to teaching individual learning needs. individual
unique learning experience to each learner, qualitative education and human capital
resources are the its main aims. Adaptive technology, project-based learning
(PBL),competency-based education are the some methods of personalized learning.
Adaptive Learning is a technology-led approach which aims to personalise the learning
according to the student's factors. According to researcher Eduard Pogorskiy, ICT can be a
powerful tool for personalized learning as it allows learners access to research and
information, and provides a mechanism for communication. It helps in the development of
human capital, productivity, creativity, poverty reduction, encourages entrepreneurship,
technological advancements, women empowerment, social development, health awareness,
and other areas where economic development can be boosted. Limitations of personalized
learning are ‘High costs,’ ‘ potential for increased inequality, increased teacher workload,
privacy concerns from data collection, leading to student isolation, it will not be successful if
there is lack of basic knowledge, and potential for a lack of social interaction and
collaboration, lack of facilities etc.
