Adaptation of Digital Teaching Content

Prior knowledge – students enter a course with different levels of understanding. In your materials, you can:

• offer short diagnostic quizzes to assess prior knowledge (Clark & Mayer, 2016),

• include links to revision or support materials for students who need additional help,

• use conditional release of content (Mayer, 2021).

Learning pace – some students learn quickly, while others need more time. Provide opportunities such as:

• access to recorded lectures,

• self-paced learning materials,

• interactive activities that can be attempted multiple times (Clark & Mayer, 2016).

Previous experiences – students may come from diverse professional or personal backgrounds. In your content, you can:

• connect the topic with real-world examples,

• offer different case studies,

• encourage sharing personal experiences through forums or assignments (Burgstahler, 2020).
