Though the evolution of personalised learning started years ago, it is still making an impact in the world of learning, aiming to provide the learners with learning of their choice and interest.

Why Personalization….?

It was the realisation of variation between different individual abilities that contributed to the rise of personalisation. Each individual varies from the other and each requires a very personal approach that focuses their specific needs. Personalisation of learning came up to initiate personalised learning pathways that enhance the competencies of the learners and make them better performers at their jobs. Moreover personalised form of learning holds the learner's attention and gives way to personal analysis.

The learners become the developers and designers in the process of personalizing their learning. They decide on the content, set their learning pace and the targets, being never passive in the creation of the personalised learning programs.

How to personalise your learning?

Personalized learning never fails to hit the bull’s eye. In these days of rapid rustle of innovation, learners constantly seek for better solutions that enable quality performance. Thus it is really high time to plan for personalised learning. Isn’t it?

Things which personalise the learning are -

Learn the learner’s priorities

Give this some time as it’s without an alternative. Take efforts to understand the interests, preferences of the learner. Have a clear insight into the learning objectives, the time in which the learner wants to complete his/her course, and the preferred way in which the course must be tailored. The deeper the comprehension about the learner, the effective the personalisation.

Speak but don’t teach

Convey the knowledge in the most appealing way. Don’t be stiff or rigid in your flow. Deliver the content in a friendly tone that keeps the learner attentive. Train the learner in a way in which he/she shouldn’t feel the burden of running away from it, but speak to them throughout to offer an enjoyable experience.

Have collaboration

Collaboration contributes to personalisation. Facilitating the learner with instructor’s comments, guidance and appreciation allows an enhancing learning experience. Collaboration between the learner and the instructor keeps the learner better equipped with accurate learning by instant doing away with obscurities.

Keep it informal

Avoid the typicality of traditional teaching learning experience. Gamify and chose an interactive approach to trap the learner and retain attention. Informal learning never deviates the learner as it serves the purpose in the other way around. It teaches and enables learning, but the learner never feels that he’s being taught.
