Building personalized learning paths can be a tough task when every class is characterized by students from varying cultural backgrounds with different learning styles, paces, and preferences. While a lot has been said about the role of digital learning platforms in personalizing education, the platform requires data analytics capabilities to do so. Unfortunately, there is an overwhelming amount of data available with schools and districts. The problem is compounded by this data being siloed across different and incompatible systems.
This is where K-12 publishers can play a crucial role in powering schools and educators with real-time insights to make data-driven decisions and improve student outcomes. Learning analytics is one of the most important applications of AI in education, allowing the tracking of student learning progress in real time to help educators identify learning gaps and adjust instruction accordingly, leading to more effective teaching and higher student achievement.
The Power of Data-Driven Learning
The learning analytics market is expected to reach $67868.4 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 24.70% from 2024. There are multiple reasons for this explosive growth. Firstly, real-time analytics provides educators with immediate feedback on student engagement, performance, and areas of difficulty. This allows educators to identify struggling students early, create personalized learning paths, and provide targeted support before they fall behind. Tailoring instruction to individual student needs and interests increases student engagement and motivation.
Tracking student learning also empowers schools, districts, and policymakers to make informed decisions about curriculum, instruction, and resource allocation, based on real-time data rather than relying on intuition or delayed assessments. For instance, real-time analytics can provide valuable insights into student needs and learning patterns, which can inform schools to allocate resources to ensure that all students receive the support they need. Real-time data can also be used to identify areas for improvement in curriculum, instruction, and other aspects of the learning environment.
In addition, digital learning platforms ease the administration of formative and module-based assessments, allowing continuous tracking of student learning progress. And when the platform is powered by AI, students can receive real-time feedback to improve their performance. These metrics can also be shared with parents, so foster a collaborative approach, which is proven to enhance learning outcomes. In fact, according to Dr. Brian Cunningham, Principal, West Junior High School in Oakland, TN, “When teachers and parents work together effectively, students are more likely to achieve higher grades, have better attendance, exhibit positive behavior, and develop a strong sense of self-esteem.”
