ALMAP Evidence of Impacts
Significant positive course grade gains noted whenadaptivity was:
• Part of course redesign (lecture blended) OR
• Added to online courses BUT
• NOT when replacing another blended technology

ALMAP Evidence of Impacts
Product features linked with learning gains:
• Progress dashboards
• Regular quizzes/feedback
• Referrals to remedial content and study tips
• Spaced memorization practice
• Vendor content− But 1 supported memorization of faculty content

ALMAP Evidence of Impacts
Course disciplines showing more learning gains:
• 50% of psychology courses
• 42% of mathematics courses
• 25% of biology courses
• 16% of English courses

ALMAP Recommendations forHigher Ed Evaluation Practice
HEIs can learn more via rigorous evaluation• Establish baseline equivalence by gathering data on student
characteristics (e.g., pretest, entry exam scores)• Use common learning assessments between comparison
conditions rather than just course grades• Ensure you have samples sizes > 10
To understand implementation, HEIs may also:• Study learner courseware usage data to measure engagement• Conduct classroom observations and interviews• Gather time logs from instructors for more precise cost data
