Abstract

Adaptive learning is a methodology that allows to identify the level of students’ knowledge and their learning styles and transform materials, tasks and ways of their delivery according to the needs of learning process participants. The interest of higher education institutions (HEI) to use adaptive learning as an innovative data-driven approach to the educational process is increasingly growing. However, the level of its actual use in HEIs is not high. The main reason is that a university has to overcome a lot of challenges in the process of adaptive learning implementation including technological, pedagogical and management-related ones. The authors address the problem of the possibility of adaptive learning integration into existing learning management systems (LMS) on the basis of Moodle as one of the most popular LMS for e-learning arrangement. The research is focused on the study of activities and resources that can be used as solutions at different stages of adaptive learning development in an e-learning course (ELC). This is an up-to-date question as it allows to cut the costs on innovation implementation and at the same time simplifies its introduction for teachers as they have already got experience in the system. Although Moodle LMS is not an adaptive learning system, it can be used as a compromise for adaptive learning implementation at higher education institutions, claim the authors. It provides administrators and teachers with tools to vary all stages of a learning process starting with delivery of information and ending with assessment. Learning materials can be adopted through choosing different types of delivery of the same information as well as through the choice of the level at which students are able to gain the knowledge. The sequence of information delivery also can be adjusted to the students’ needs through using settings in lectures and other types of materials. Adaptive assessment can be achieved through adaptive quizzes tools. In the paper it is offered to look at the perspective of adaptive learning implementation through the stages of its development in an electronic learning course (ELC), activities and resources that can be used to provide those stages. Microlearning is highlighted as a means of adaptive learning implementation.
