Personalized Learning Plans: A Scoping Review of the Literature and Implications for Remote Learning Beyond COVID-19

• In Event: COVID and Distance Learning

Abstract

“Personalized learning” is a complex nomenclature within and across educational disciplines (e.g., educational technology, adult learning, special education, middle and secondary level). The use of a personalized learning plan (PLP) is one cross-section of a very large literature and typically understood as a student-directed practice with promise for increased agency or self-determination and higher levels of engagement with learning. However, no existing meta-analysis or reviews of the literature summarize practices, methods, measures, or outcomes. This presentation summarizes a scoping review of the PLP literature (n=330 documents) and will describe findings and implications in the context of remote learning.
