Personalized Learning with Technology
Technology can be effectively utilized to personalize learning experiences.
The initial vision of Khan Academy was not just about making educational content accessible but also about allowing students to learn at their own pace.
This approach has been validated by numerous studies showing significant growth in learning outcomes with even low levels of engagement.
Real-Time Feedback through Dashboards
Providing real-time feedback and information both to students and teachers is crucial for effective learning.
Tools like dashboards on the Khan Academy platform allow teachers to intervene when necessary, ensuring every student’s needs are met.
