Special Issue on Personalised Learning

摘要

Personalised learning, or the tailoring of curriculum, pedagogical approaches and the learning environment to each individual, provides a greater focus on the individual than any earlier approach to learning. In doing so, it has been concerned with adapting learning experiences and resources based on a wide variety of factors, including personal learning history, current location and context, available interactive devices, cultural preference, personality, learning preferences and gender, amongst others. A dominant source of personalisation derives from cognitive differences between individuals, whether in terms of their approaches to learning or, more commonly, what knowledge has already been acquired, and what skills have so far been mastered.
