Customizing content through adaptivity

Learning tools that respond to each user’s needs and provide customized instruction are described as “adaptive.”

Research suggests that adaptive systems that provide timely feedback as students engage with the learning technology have been found to be as effective as human tutors. Adaptive products also assess individual performance to ensure that each student receives the practice opportunities needed to master all key skills.

Mastering Chemistry’s rich, adaptive functionality ensures a personalized learning experience for each student.

• When students make an error on most problem types, they receive wrong-answer feedback specifically written to address that particular concept.
• Dynamic Study Modules uniquely apply research on memory and metacognition to help students study more efficiently, reflect on their own understanding, and recall information confidently at test time.
• Based on each student's past performance to date, Adaptive Follow-Up Assignments provide additional coaching and targeted practice as needed to help students become proficient in a full range of skills.
