Adaptive learning technology can optimize learning for each individual, embed objective assessment throughout learning, and implement mastery criteria.

• Adaptive learning focuses the learner’s effort where it is needed most, resulting in greater learner efficiency.
• Adaptive technology learning modules produced highly effective learning of medical material and students outperformed a control group using conventional study methods.
