Essentially, adaptive learning…
"…makes content dynamic and interactive, placing the student at the center of his or her individual learning experience.

It assesses not only what a student knows now, but also determines what activities and interactions, developed by which providers, delivered in what sequence and medium, most greatly increase the possibility of that student’s academic success."
