Systematic Review of Personalized Learning in Higher Education: Content Structure, Materials Sequence, and Learning Support

• In Event: Design and Instructional Technology

Abstract

This study reviewed the design elements of personalized learning, focusing on learning content structuring, learning materials sequencing, and learning readiness support. A total of 41 relevant articles were analyzed to review current design trends of personalized learning in higher education and identify gaps in the literature. The results revealed an increasing research interest but low maturity of personalized learning in higher education. Results also showed that learning content structuring, learning materials sequencing, and learning readiness support were treated separately. Learning materials sequence and learning readiness support have not been considered together in the design. Besides, large number of reviewed articles could not be classified, indicating that the theoretical foundations of personalized learning were not advanced enough for a wide adoption.
