TLDR
The Effect Size tool is adopted as a standard way to compare the results of one pedagogical experiment to another and ES is used to analyse the effectiveness of the systems previously described, in order to demonstrate that adaptive learning can provide significant improvements in the learning process of students.Abstract:
This study examines the evidence for the effectiveness of adaptive learning. It first analyses the different classifications of adaptive learning systems existing in the literature, to focus later on Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) describing some examples of both types of systems. Next, the Effect Size (ES) tool is adopted as a standard way to compare the results of one pedagogical experiment to another. ES is used to analyse the effectiveness of the systems previously described, in order to demonstrate that adaptive learning can provide significant improvements in the learning process of students. Finally, a number of conclusions and future trends are discussed.read more

Does Active Learning Work? A Review of the Research
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the evidence for the effectiveness of active learning and define the common forms of activelearning most relevant for engineering faculty and critically examine the core element of each method, finding broad but uneven support for the core elements of active, collaborative, cooperative and problem-based learning.
