Adaptive Learning

Adaptive learning is a digital method of interacting with students in such a way that their instruction is guided by algorithms, resulting in a personalized path of assessment and lessons.  It is available for many different subjects and at various levels of difficulty. Typically, it enables a student to target areas in which they require further study, while also identifying course content whose learning objectives have been fully reached. 

Stony Brook University embraces an assortment of adaptive learning tools in order to further empower students and instructors for success during the academic year.
