Comparative Review of Selected Adaptive e-Learning Platforms

Ibuomo R. Tebepah and Efiyeseimokumo S. Ikeremo

Abstract

This work was centered on reviewing the ten most adaptive e-learning platforms; identifying features, functionalities and the overall appearance of the application. The main objective was to enable educationist, institution heads, technologist, and other learning stakeholders to make knowledgeable decisions in regards to adaptive learning platforms. The reviewing took 2 dimensions; reviewing of related literature, and the hands-on review. In the course of the review, some were identified to be more suitable for corporate trainings with very minimal educational or learning pedagogy consideration. A comparison table was created, summarizing each for easy selection and choice.
