Empowering University Students with A Guided Personalised Learning Model

Personalised learning seeks to provide a tailored and highly effective learning experience, to maximize the unique potential of individual learners. However, despite the potential benefits, the implementation of personalised learning has not significantly materialized within the current structure of higher education institutions. In this paper, we propose a Guided Personalised Learning (GPL) model, specifically designed to facilitate effective interactions between educators and learners. The GPL model empowers learners to develop their tailored learning plans, while enabling educators to adapt their teaching and embrace student-centred pedagogy to address the diverse learning needs of students in the same classroom. We developed prototypes for the practical implementation of the GPL model in two undergraduate engineering courses and conducted initial evaluations of their effectiveness.
