Good overview article on adaptive learning by Michael Feldstein (I don't look at the author name until I've selected an article for inclusion in OLDaily, so the repeated citations from e-Literate are a testimate to the quality of the work, at least in my view). Feldstein cautions against extreme views on adaptive elarning, both for and against: "When the idea that machine-assessed competencies capture everything important that a student should learn in a class, there is danger.... The countervailing temptation for faculty, then, is to reject all adaptive learning itself as a fraud and a conspiracy to defund education. That temptation should [also] be resisted."
