EdTech: Personalised learning pathways
Digital technology enables us to create personalised pathways that provide a unique route to learning for all learners, particularly individuals who are less likely to benefit from mainstream options.
This module looks at the characteristics and features of personalised learning and the contributing factors that make them possible in practice.
Aim
The module shows you the features of personalised learning pathways.
Objective
After completing this module, you will be able to:
- List the key features of personalised learning pathways
- Describe the organisational, cultural and pedagogic enablers of personalised learning pathways
Digital Teaching Professional Framework
This module covers the EdTech component - F2 : Equality and diversity
- Address the special needs of individual learners (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, overachievers) using digital technologies

Lots of supportive websites.
good course
A good unit that looks into individual learning paths and approaches.
Great
An interesting concepts that makes us question our normal teaching practice
Lovely recipe "The critical input for learner success is the teaching and support team behind the technology."
This is a very useful session that would help those trainers who may not be confident in the technology that can be used to help them help their learners. The use of the SAMR model would be able ti support their learning with this.
interesting.
Short but interesting. Would have been nice had it been more in depth.
Module highlights the benefits of personalised learning, although only partly mentioning the barriers (Digital Skills and Technology) to support personalised delivery. Not only are learners required to have suitable skills, it is important that the training provider has the resources available to support flexible personalised learning
Informative and thought provoking.
Very much liked this unit. Made me think of new ways learning can be made more creative.
Good insight into personalisation of learning.
Good
Valuable information on personalised learning pathways.
very good ideas about use of alternative and additional learning to supplement the courses
I would have liked some more ideas on ways to create personalised learning paths
.
Lacked a little in content
Straight forward and logical.
Useful ideas on how time, place, path and pace of learning can be made more flexible.
The sorting activity was useful and prompt to thin about other differences characteristics between personalised and 'mainstream' learning.
Good!
like all learning, it is better if there are no distractions, phone call from work, hence the rubbish score, however I could have restarted the module, will revisit at a later date.
It is a basic introduction. Would have liked more information on this topic though
It's a good example but somewhat specialist - it's worth saying a lot more about the scope of simple things to personalise learning pathways - effective use of the VLE to provide alternative case studies, alternative option modules, differentiated resources, text based .v. video based explanations etc. Giving learners choices is one of the hallmarks of good VLE practice. It would be good to reflect these mundane things as well as the more specialised considerations in the case study.

Practical prompting for many of us to reflect on.
