Good article on adaptive learning*. But what strikes me in reading this article is how many qualifiers there are.

That said, between the qualifiers it profiles Dream Box, which makes elementary and middle school adaptive math software, and LEAP Innovations, a consultancy that help educators find what works to personalize learning.
