PASSAGE 2

Teachers are taught to identify the learning goals of all students in a class and adapt instruction
for the specific needs of individual students. But with 20 or more students in a classroom, fully
customized lessons are not always realistic. Everyone learns differently.

Now, an AI system can help teachers observing how a student proceeds through an assigned
task, how much time they take and whether they are successful. If the student is struggling,
the system can offer help; if the student is succeeding, the system can present more difficult
tasks to keep the activity challenging.

This type of real-time feedback is often difficult for an educator or school to do for a single
student, much less an entire class or campus. But, AI adaptative learning tools have been
shown to quickly and dynamically make changes to the learning environment, content, and
tasks to help individuals learn more and quickly improve.
