18. Learner Control Principle (Consider Adaptive Control)

What Learner Control Principle (Consider Adaptive Control) Is

According to Clark and Mayer (2011), adaptive control is designed dynamically to adjust the lessons difficulty and support based on the learners responses (Clark & Mayer, 2011, p.323-327).

How the Example Shows (or Doesn't) Learner Control Principle (Consider Adaptive Control)

With Khan academy, the user sets up an account and begins a lesson. When the learner returns to the application it asks if they want to continue with the last lesson or learn something new. It keeps up with the lesson prior and the skill level of the learner and assists by making suggestions to the learner of the next level of math based on their experience.
