Balancing the requirements of the core curriculum with the freedom of differentiated learning is a challenge. Therefore, it's something to take place as a continuous process. The starting point, as I see, seems to be on our understanding that students are not homogeneous; thus, the institutionalized sameness has to be questioned. In other words, since every person is unique, why not start by providing our classes with various kinds of tasks which can go along with the profile of different students? This way, even though we are not doing as e-learning environments can do, in which each one works on what calls their attention the most, we are designing classes with the learners and their differences in mind. For me this is what could be considered personalized learning. What I would add here is that finding ways to connect with students' identities, thus working on personalized learning, does not necessarily mean acting upon their lifeworlds only. From my point of view, our educational challenge connects to taking students' lifeworlds into account, but giving them a chance to expand on it, to go beyond their current understanding and knowledge. Therefore, they would be producing their own textbooks, instead of consuming pre-conceived ones, as traditionally seen, especially in EFL teaching. It is about developing a sense of informed voice, through the articulation of different identities. In this sense, as an e-learning environment, Coursera and Scholar are good examples of personalized learning, since we have the chance to choose what interests us the most and read about and work on it, avoiding spending time on things we do not care about. This way, we are all doing different things despite being in the same course and having the same assignment. In other words, the paths we follow, even though guided, are different and entirely our responsibility.
