ABSTRACT
Responding to the growing demand for personalized learning, since 2018, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette) began assisting faculty in building adaptive courses using the Realizeit adaptive platform. During 2018–2021, six adaptive courses have been developed in Realizeit and 34 sections were offered across five disciplines. The goal of this study was to explore faculty and student experiences and perceptions with adaptive courses developed in Realizeit. The study used a mixed-methods approach, including faculty and student surveys, faculty interviews, and overall student performance data. Students who took an adaptive course and faculty members who designed or taught at least one adaptive course participated in this study. Findings revealed several perceived positive aspects of the adaptive technology in teaching and learning, and faculty practices and experiences in designing and delivering adaptive courses are discussed.
