Adaptation of Digital Teaching Content

5. Personalisation through LMS tools

Platforms such as Moodle provide advanced tools for personalising content for different students (Horton, 2011; Burgstahler, 2015; Clark & Mayer, 2016):

• grouping students - different groups can see different materials
• conditional release of content – content becomes available only after the student completes previous steps;
• completion tracking motivates students to monitor their progress.

Example in an LMS:

• Students with less prior knowledge receive an additional educational video.
• More advanced students receive a more demanding assignment.
• An assignment unlocks only after a student passes a quiz with at least 70 % correct answers.
