This is a hybrid event - please see the Loop for Teams link. LeaP stands for Learning Paths. It is a Learning Hub adaptive learning program that creates custom learning paths for students based on their performance on tests. This presentation provides a brief overview to LeaP covering the following topics: 

• Adaptive learning  

• LeaP creation and functionality 

• LeaP use cases 

• LeaP limitations 

• Courses that work best with LeaP  

• LeaP course access 

LeaP provides several benefits to students and instructors: 

Students: 

• Learning paths are tailored to each students’ unique learning needs. 

• Students learn at their own pace. 

• Once former concepts are mastered, LeaP can present only new material covering the next concept/topic making learning more efficient. 

• Alternative content is used to help explain concepts. 

• Suggested learning resources are provided where gaps in learning exist. 

Instructors: 

• Track and focus on students struggling or who have incomplete work. 

• Discover the concepts that are misunderstood by the class and then re-teach them. 

Note: This presentation does not involve the detailed steps in creating a LeaP. A “Discover” course (myTools, Discover) in the Learning Hub has been created for this purpose.
