This scoping review investigates the roles of intelligent learning companion systems (LCS) within educational settings, as well as the presences artificial intelligence (AI) embodies within these roles, and their application in education. Employing the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines for…

Work-based and employee-driven informal learning, training and development have been increasing in importance in the last few decades. Concurrently, organizations seek to measure the extent to which they develop a culture and structure that supports individual learning and organizational learning. This study examines the perception of a learning…

Differentiated instruction contends that teachers should vary their instructional strategies to match the learners' individual differences. However, this is challenging due to various constraints of classroom and contextual variables. Adaptive systems offer a solution to this challenge, especially as instruction has increasingly moved towards an…

Open Educational Resources (OER) offer educators the ability to personalize learning, differentiate and accelerate instruction, and maintain the integrity and currency of instructional materials. This article will summarize a plan for integrating OER in a K-12 setting with a central focus on professional learning.

Educational recommender systems offer benefits for workplace learning by tailoring the selection of learning activities to the individual's learning goals. However, existing systems focus on the learner as the primary stakeholder of learning processes and do not consider the organization's perspective. We conducted a systematic review to develop a…

There has been a move toward personalized learning and alternative types of authentic assessment in K-12 education. This shift has been partly driven by increases in the available technology that can support those types of changes. This qualitative study aimed at understanding the experience of learners in a first-year physics class working with…

Although digital personalized learning (DPL) is assumed to be beneficial for the student as well as the teacher, the implementation process of DPL tools can be challenging. Therefore, the aim of our study is to scrutinize teachers' perceptions towards the implementation of DPL in the classroom. A total of 370 teachers from primary and secondary…

This action research aimed to evaluate the impact of personalized reading plans on first-grade students' reading engagement and comprehension. Personalized reading plans were created for each student based on their interests and reading abilities within an e-book library. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered from 10 first-grade students…

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has reignited long-standing debates about technology's role in education. While GenAI potentially offers personalized learning, adaptive tutoring, and automated support, it also raises concerns about algorithmic bias, de-skilling educators, and diminishing human connection. This…

Some research has shown that using videos in online courses can promote learner's connection to the instructor (Banerjee et al., 2020). This quasi-experimental self-study aimed to explore the impact of brief three-minute instructor-generated videos in twin segments of an online graduate teacher education seminar focused on Globalization,…

Personalized learning has the potential to transfer the focus of higher education from teacher-centered to learner-centered environments. The purpose of this integrative literature review was to provide an overview of personalized learning theory, learning technology that supports the personalization of higher education, current practices, as well…

This paper is a report of a design-based research project undertaken to build a blended teacher education program that focuses on cultivating teachers' competencies for personalized and blended learning in K-12 classrooms. Two iterations were designed and examined in total, with 10 teacher educators and two teacher candidate cohorts. Teacher…
