Adaptive learning systems amplify learning experiences by dynamically adjusting content, instructions, assessment, and feedback based on student progress or mastery. The COVID-19 pandemic surfaced the unique opportunity to prototype adaptive courseware innovation across the UNC System, providing alternative online learning materials to support student’s prerequisite knowledge review and problem-solving practice in Chemistry.
We share the engagement efforts taken in Fall 2020 by over 30 UNC system leaders and faculty, instructional designers, IT staff, and graduate assistants from five UNC system schools (UNCC, UNCG, UNCP, App State, NCSU to develop and pilot 12 adaptive learning courseware aligned to Chemistry 1, Chemistry 2, and Organic Chemistry, leveraging the RealizeIt platform and OER content.
We also present findings from a student evaluation survey completed in Spring 2021 by 150 participants on student satisfaction, experience, and preferences of adaptive learning courseware.
