Personalized learning environment: new trend in online learning

摘要

Online learning has changed the ways in which education has been conducted. Unfortunately, many educational websites do not employ principles of effective learning (Cook and Dupras, 2004). Since learners move online, how can we attend to the basic human attraction for individualized attention?
