Leveraging Adaptive Learning Pathways to Improve Access and Engagement within a Learning Management System (LMS) Environment (LePa)

Description

The LePa Project aims to develop templates and tools to support the creation of adaptive learning pathways within undergraduate courses.

Adaptive learning pathways provide the possibility of individualized experiences for learners, by leveraging technology to deliver customized learning activities and support resources. They enable individual students to interact with resources that have been selected to fit their needs, such as their understanding of prerequisites or their mastery of competencies covered in the course so far.

The approach of the project will be: first, build adaptive learning pathways for a small set of “case study” undergraduate courses using non-digital approaches (through hand-building); second, develop digital tools to support the hand-building approaches and to emplace the adaptive learning pathways within the case study courses (through an LTI-compatible external tool for eClass); third, revise the digital tool to capitalize on feedback gathered and on additional technologies.
