Introduction to Personalized Learning and Technology

Personalized learning is an educational approach that customizes instruction to align with each student’s individual learning needs, interests, and abilities. Technology serves as a pivotal tool in facilitating personalized learning by providing adaptive resources and platforms that cater to diverse learning styles. This approach supports a merit-based educational framework by enabling students to progress based on their demonstrated competencies.

An online learning platform that adjusts the difficulty level of exercises based on a student’s performance exemplifies personalized learning. This adaptive technology ensures that students are consistently challenged at an appropriate level, promoting continuous progress validated by objective assessments.

Understanding how personalized learning and technology intersect sets the stage for examining their impact on Special Needs Education, enhancing individual merit through tailored instruction.
