Nowadays using personalized study materials or technologies are nearly common among the students. It may has some advantages but in a overall scale it reduces one’s creativity in many ways. In most of the times it fails to enhance the ideas in a student while group study or group discussion passes.
Personalized learning technologies are definitely a blessing for the learners. Students find this method very handy when studying by self. E-book, YouTube videos, online study materials and answer sheets etc provides a student enough to bring their desired outcome. These personalized technologies reduces time in learning and makes the opportunity to utilize the time. Most of the time, these technologies are friendly in budget and helps a student to pursue the wanted study materials needed. The tech giants are continuously trying to figure out more sufficient ways to develop this way of learning.
However, this method has numerous disabilities. A student should not study alone for a long period of time. The more a student try to learn something new without any sort of fellowship, their creativity goes down gradually. A study shows that those students who studied without any physical mentorship or coordination they are less likely to be visionary than those students who studied in a group discussion or that kind of environment. When students try to learn something new through discussions and arguments, they get the opportunity to utilize what they have learned into the session. Personalized learning technologies cannot provide a learner the effective guideline to get the opportunities they want.
In conclusion, personalized learning technologies may ease the road to learning but it is not the correct way to consume knowledge and applicate it in one’s wanted way.
