Pilot of an Adaptive Learning Platform in a Graduate Nursing Education Pathophysiology Course.
Adaptive learning (AL) platforms enhance student learning and engagement. This study found that graduate nursing students preferred AL platforms over traditional learning management systems (LMS), reporting improved learning and engagement.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Adaptive learning (AL) platforms personalize content based on student knowledge and learning pace.
- Traditional learning management systems (LMS) offer a standardized approach to course delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the effectiveness of an adaptive learning platform against a traditional LMS in a graduate pathophysiology course.
- To evaluate student perceptions of learning and engagement in an AL environment.
Main Methods:
- A randomized control group experimental study was conducted.
- The study involved a pilot adaptive graduate nurse educator pathophysiology course.
Main Results:
- 86% of participants (n=21) agreed they learned better with an AL platform.
- 100% of participants (N=23) reported increased course engagement.
- 86% of participants (n=21) expressed a desire to use the AL platform again.
Conclusions:
- The pilot demonstrated the potential effectiveness of AL platforms in supporting student learning.
- Students perceived enhanced engagement and more effective learning experiences with AL.
- A significant interest exists among students for future courses utilizing AL platforms.
