What's the deal with personalized learning? MATRIX Blog

Einstein once said that if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it'll live its whole life thinking it's stupid. What you may not know is that he was referring to the public educational system and the one size fits all approach to teaching. Although more than a century passed since he said this, traditional models of education still exist till this day and still insist on standardized teaching techniques, despite their inability to deliver the best results. More and more learners -- in the academic and business world -- don't find these models challenging and engaging, so they're searching for alternatives, they want more personalized learning experiences. Personalized learning is the tailoring of learning environments with the primary focus on learners and how they experience the process of knowledge acquisition.
