TransLeader: Models of Adaptive Learning in the Area of High Education in Ukraine (A3.5)

Abstract

This paper explores the implementation of adaptive learning models in Ukraine's higher education institutions, emphasizing the central role of mentors—tutors or teachers—in tailoring educational experiences to meet diverse student expectations, needs, and learning styles. The study demonstrates how adaptive learning can be effectively integrated into existing learning management systems (LMS) like Moodle. The research outlines the stages of adaptive learning implementation, including the initial stage, pre-test stage, path generation stage, learning stage, and post-test stage, showcasing Moodle’s functionality in facilitating these processes. A key element of adaptive learning highlighted is microlearning, where content is divided into smaller, easily navigable units that address individual educational requirements while allowing for flexible updates. Components such as Moodle's Lesson and Quiz tools exemplify how student knowledge can be developed and assessed dynamically within this framework. The work was conducted as part of the TransLeader project (2023-2-PL01-KA220-HED-000179445), namely, activity A3.5, which integrates technical expertise in AI and IoT with leadership training to create an innovative curriculum. The findings underscore the feasibility and effectiveness of adaptive learning approaches in enhancing personalized education through widely adopted LMS platforms.
