True personalised learning takes both the content of what is being learned and the style of learning into account. It recognises that each student has their own individual way of taking in and processing information, and adjusts the teaching methods and materials accordingly. This means that rather than each student being taught in the same way, they are instead given the freedom to learn in a way that suits them best. In addition, true personalised learning also allows for students to pursue their own interests and follow their own passions. As a result, they are more engaged and motivated, and more likely to achieve success.
Our client is building an educational tech platform using AI to achieve these results.
