9. What is personalised learning?
Personalising learning, to
me, is the process of
contouring learning to the
individuals you are dealing
with, recognizing that we all
have different strengths and
weaknesses, different
interests and different ways
of learning … is finding the
best ways to engage with
people with different
interests, passions and ways
of thinking
