While most educators regard personalized learning as beneficial for higher education and continuous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of personalized learning, a comprehensive understanding of how personalized learning has been designed and implemented in higher education is scarce. The purpose of this review study is to examine the…

This paper reports on a novel corequisite design and implementation for College Algebra at Florida International University. The corequisite course uses online, just-in-time, prerequisite assignments delivered on an open-educational platform. Students get help from near-peer learning assistants inside a math emporium environment. The course…

Generative AI presents significant opportunities for instructional designers to create content and personalize online learning environments. Alongside its benefits, generative AI also poses ethical considerations and potential risks, such as perpetuating biases or disrupting the learning process. Navigating these complexities requires an approach…

Advances in technology have increased the opportunities for designers to personalise instruction based on student actions. We conducted semi-structured interviews with an international sample of educational professionals including researchers, teachers and designers, and reviewed interdisciplinary literature on personalisation to propose a…

This paper reviews the role of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in transforming the landscape of educational game design. The recent rise and development of GenAI have expanded its applications in creating dynamic and interactive game systems. This review explores the potential of GenAI to craft personalized educational game designs that…

Preparing elementary-aged children to practice data science literacies is important and understudied. Our research investigates how data science curricula might be effectively designed and integrated into elementary classroom instruction. We use narrative case study methodology, focusing on a single case detailing a second-grade teacher's approach…

When the traditional "one size fits all" approach is used in designing educational games, the game context is usually arranged in a fixed sequence. However, the designated content may not effectively support the diversity of players. The player's ability and characteristics should be considered and supported with an appropriate learning…

By prioritizing engagement opportunities, faculty development programs have the potential to help participants build relationships with available support systems, consider the perspectives and needs of their students, and interact with a community of practice. This article considers the engagement strategies that remain core to a professional…

As student populations in schools become more diverse in many western countries, the urge for teachers to provide instruction that caters for students' needs increases concurrently. Teachers however find it difficult to put differentiated instruction into practice. This study is based on an action research project that documented teachers'…

This article is devoted to the development of an adaptive personalized online course in mathematics for students, which was implemented on the Stepik platform. The authors discuss a non-linear approach to online learning that adapts to the needs of the student as they progress through the course content, which leads to an individual learner's…

Educator preparation, personalized learning (PL) implementation, and applications of Generative AI converge as three interrelated systems that, when carefully designed, can help achieve the long-sought goal of providing inclusive education for all learners. However, realizing this potential comes with challenges resulting from theoretical…

Purpose: Fischer "et al." (2022) present a framework for rethinking education, including broad design components such as learning-on-demand or learning takes place in the context of authentic problems. How can we bring those design components into practice? I argue that the design of innovative learning approaches for the digital age…

Throughout the learning process, English learners should meaningfully engage with both their peers and the mathematics. How do mathematics teachers provide the "just-right" supports for English learners to insure this happens? What scaffolds are best? How do teachers make adjustments to these scaffolds based on the needs of the…

Teachers, schools, districts, states, and technology developers endeavor to personalize learning experiences for students, but definitions of personalized learning (PL) vary and designs often span multiple components. Variability in definition and implementation complicate the study of PL and the ways that designs can leverage student…

This research aims to describe the mathematical problems posed by prospective elementary school pre-service teachers in differentiated learning. This research uses a qualitative approach and uses problem-posing tasks and interviews as tools for collecting data. In the problem-posing task, information on learning conditions is provided, which…
