Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of adaptive learning platforms (ALPs) in education, focusing on their pedagogical foundations, AI-driven implementations, and the challenges and successes of real-world applications. By collecting and analyzing learner data, ALPs dynamically adjust instructional content and pathways to offer personalized learning experiences, enhancing learning outcomes. The paper explores ALP design frameworks, core algorithms, and evaluation metrics, and assesses their performance across diverse educational contexts through case studies. Lastly, the review highlights key challenges ALPs face, such as privacy concerns and faculty support for implementation, and offers insights into future trends in developing adaptive technologies. This review provides educators and researchers with valuable insights into how ALPs can be effectively applied in various educational settings.
