Abstract

Digital learning platforms are more and more used in blended classroom scenarios in Germany. However, as learning processes are different among students, adaptive learning platforms can offer personalized learning, e.g. by individual feedback and corrections, task sequencing, or recommendations. As digital learning platforms are already used in classroom settings, we propose the transformation of these platforms into adaptive learning environments. To measure the effectiveness and improvements achieved through the adaptions an online-controlled experiment design is created. Our result is a process that consists of the target definition, development of the prediction model, definition of the adaptions, building the experiment architecture, the experimental period, and the hypothesis testing. As an example, we apply this design exemplarily to an online learning platform for German spelling and grammar. In this way, we contribute to the research field by bridging the gap between adaptive learning technology and the process of transformations and experiment designs.
