Personalized learning programs are proliferating in schools across the United States, fueled by philanthropic dollars, tech industry lobbying, marketing by third-party vendors, and a policy environment that provides little guidance and few constraints. In this research brief, authors Faith Boninger, Alex Molnar, and Christopher M. Saldaña consider…

Personalized Learning (PL) has been widely promoted. Despite the increasing interest in PL, it is difficult to be implemented, because it can be complicated, costly, and even impossible without the help of powerful and advanced technology. This national survey study aimed at systematically investigating technology usage and needs of teachers in…

Advanced by powerful venture philanthropies, educational technology companies, and the US Department of Education, a growing movement to apply "big data" through "learning analytics" to create "personalized learning" is currently underway in K-12 education in the United States. While scholars have offered various…

Examines the usage of computers in the science curriculum at present and the potential of computers for education. Bibliography. (LC)

This anthology of articles originally published between 1964 and 1969 has two sections: one describing methods of individualizing instruction in science and mathematics with some examples of successful practices, and the second containing seven papers, five dealing with the use of computers to individualize instruction, one with the impact of…

Describes the PLATO computer-based teaching system that provides individualized instruction to many students simultaneously. Includes examples of PLATO lessons and costs of implementation. (MLH)

Reviews the implications which the advent of the computer has for mathematics education in instruction, learning, and curriculum. The activities described are either representative of those occurring at present or very shortly to be realized. (PR)

Reviews the advantages of computer simulated environments for experiments, referring in particular to acid-base titrations. Includes pre-lab instructions and a sample computer printout of a student's use of an acid-base simulation. Ten references. (PR)

Methods of putting together an integrated system consisting of a computer, videotape player, and a television are reviewed. Sections cover the mechanics, modes of presentation, programed instructions, the beginning of a program, and how to convert previously made videotapes.
