Context and Justification for the
Literature Review
The justification of this literature review was to:
• Examine the factors influencing adaptive learning
technologies
• Acknowledge work that has been done before in
the field of adaptive learning technologies;
• Gain knowledge of existing theories
• Explore dominant issues
Center for Distributed Learning
● What are the key factors influencing the selection of
adaptive learning technology in higher education?
● How can educational institutions prepare for the
implementation of an adaptive learning system?
Center for Distributed Learning
According Paramythis et. al (2004) “…a learning
environment is considered adaptive if it’s capable of:
● Monitoring the activities of its users
● Interpreting these on the basis of domain-specific
models
● Inferring user requirements and preferences out of
the interpreted activities
Center for Distributed Learning
● Appropriately representing these in associated
models; and, finally
● Acting upon the available knowledge on its users
and the subject matter at hand to dynamically
facilitate the learning process
● (Vassileva, 2012) System reads the learners needs
and preferences

Twenty articles reviewed using systematic approach
Key areas of the review
•
Different models of adaptive learning technologies
•
Factors influencing using adaptive learning technologies
•
The impact of adaptive learning technologies on the
design and delivery of courses
Center for Distributed Learning
Adaptive Learning Technologies have been around since the early 1900s ( Mödritscher et, al
2004)
