Abstract

Adaptive learning is a learning service that adapts quickly and continuously to the individual characteristics of students. Our study is a literature review that includes a brief analysis of the history of development, the main modern approaches and methods of implementation, the educational potential of adaptive platforms and the directions of the future development of adaptive learning. The literature review allowed us to describe and analyze the main stages of learning development: from programmable to adaptive. Its results are aimed at helping researchers and developers gain a general and comprehensive understanding of adaptive learning and its development trends.
