Course Description

Personalized learning aims to tailor instruction to the needs, talents, and skills of each individual learner, and rapid advances in technology platforms and digital content over the last decade have enabled more widespread use of personalized learning.  The purpose of this continuing education course, developed using information from the National Forum on Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, is to provide an overview of personalized learning and describe best practices to collect data for personalized learning, to use those data to meet personalized learning goals, and to support the relationships, resources, and systems needed for effective use of data in personalized learning.  In addition, data considerations needed by different locations depending on their approach to personalized learning are presented as well as questions such as which data elements are appropriate at the district or state levels.

Course Objectives
