I appreciate this question Mfundiso Nongqwenga.

It hits on a real challenge in our education system. Smart adaptive learning systems can really change the game by tailoring content to each student’s progress. Research has shown that these systems can boost student engagement and outcomes by around 20–30%

This means that instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, every student can learn at their own pace with materials that match their skills and needs.

However, in South Africa, the adoption of these systems isn’t without hurdles. Many universities face challenges like uneven internet access, limited funding, and varying levels of comfort with new technology among educators. In fact, recent reports suggest that only about 50% of South African universities have the digital infrastructure needed to fully support these tools. Overcoming these challenges will be key to making personalized education a reality for all students.

Keep up the great work in exploring these ideas.

The generative learning AI in adaptive learning systems will take personalized education in every South African university to the next level, fitting the learning experiences of the students to their needs, skills, and learning styles. This is done by offering immediate feedback, real-time adjustment in content difficulty, and suggested resources, and thus promoting academic achievements in an engaging way. These are influenced by access to technology, digital literacy, affordability, infrastructure, and readiness of educators towards integrating AI into their teaching methodology. Besides, cultural and contextual challenges, such as linguistic diversity and internet connectivity, may impact the successful implementation of such systems.@Mfundiso Nongqwenga
