Mapping the intelligent classroom: examining the emergence of personalized learning solutions in the digital age

Abstract

It may seem that learning platforms and systems are a tired topic for the academic community; however, with the recent advancements in artificial intelligence, they have become relevant to both current and future educational discourse. This systematic literature review explored platforms and software supporting personalized learning processes in the digital age. The review methodology followed PRISMA guidelines, searching Scopus and Web of Science databases. Results identified three main categories: artificial intelligence, platforms/software, and learning systems. Key findings indicate artificial intelligence plays a pivotal role in adaptive, personalized environments by offering individualized content, assessments, and recommendations. Online platforms integrate into blended environments to facilitate personalized learning, retention, and engagement. Learning systems promote student-centered models, highlight hybrid environments’ potential, and apply game elements for motivation. Practical implications include leveraging hybrid models, emphasizing human connections, analyzing student data, and teacher training. Future research directions involve comparative studies, motivational principles, predictive analytics, adaptive technologies, teacher professional development, cost-benefit analyses, ethical frameworks, and diverse learner impacts. Overall, the dynamic interplay between artificial intelligence, learning platforms, and learning systems offers a mosaic of opportunities for the evolution of personalized learning, emphasizing the importance of continuous exploration and refinement in this ever-evolving educational landscape.
