Abstract

High potential values drive the commercial sectors towards the rapid development of Personalization Technology. In response to individual needs, personalization in education not only facilitates students to learn better by using different strategies to create various learning experiences, but also caters teacher’s teaching needs in preparing/designing varied teaching/instructional packages. Empirical results show that using the technologies without regarding pedagogical concepts frequently lead to failure. This paper provides a detailed examination of the opportunities and necessities of Personalized Education (PE) from the perspective of different learning pedagogies. To optimize the benefits of meaningful personalization technologies, we also propose a Personalized Education System (PES) Framework and introduce several PES features that can support personalized teaching and learning under pervasive computing.
