Market definitions of adaptive learning technologies

As mentioned earlier, many companies and educators use the term ‘adaptive learning’ loosely to describe their product or practice although they may have different implications. Since there are many ways to change how we teach to meet learner needs, "adaptive learning" has become an umbrella term.

In one framework developed by EdSurge in order to address this ambiguity, they define what they see as the most common categories of adaptive learning technologies: adaptive content, adaptive sequence, and adaptive assessment.
