Adaptive learning systems can track data such as student progress, engagement, and performance, and use the data to provide personalized learning experiences. While equal education opportunity affords individuals equal access to resources, equitable education recognizes and addresses the differences between learners by providing the fitting material aligned with each to reach their academic endeavor. Adaptive learning along with adaptive teaching and assessment strives to provide equity in education to all learners.

Adaptive learning is part of interactive learning which addresses the needs of individuals through learning pathways, effective feedback, and supplemental resources; as opposed to an one-size-fits-all curriculum (Kurt, 2021). Technology advancement makes adaptive learning easier to implement. There are three areas one can implement adaptive learning: adaptive content, adaptive sequence, and adaptive assessment. Adaptive learning requires human planning and interactions to be successful. Instructor presence is still essential for adaptive learning to take place as they assist students in understanding the value of the adaptive system and help transition them from passive to active collaborators and learners. It is recommended to select the adaptive platform that provides instructors the ability to select specific learning activities and assessments to make sure that content is aligned with the course objectives. Instructors should plan ahead when designing adaptive learning and identify who they can reach out to for support

Instructors should take the time to understand how the adaptive system works and relay that information to students.

Present clearly the expectations for the course and the process of engaging in the adaptive material.

Become familiar with the learning analytics provided by the adaptive learning tool. Utilizing learning analytics effectively to inform instructors the interventions and implementing learner-centered teaching have been the key.
