Abstract
The 21st century is challenging the future educational systems with ‘twitch-speed’ societal and technological changes. The pace of (technological) innovations forces future education to fulfill the need of empowering people of all societal, cultural, and age groups the acquire competences and skills in real-time for demands and tasks we cannot even imagine at the moment. To realize that, we do need smart novel educational technologies that can support the learners on an individual basis and accompany them during a lifelong personal learning and development history. This paper gives some brief insights in approaches to adaptive education based on sound psycho-pedagogical foundations and current technologies.
