Each learner reaches mastery in their own way Adaptivity = mastery + personalization + scale

In May 2016, IT services firm Atos and McGraw-Hill Education Learning Science Platforms entered into a partnership to transform Atos

Codex sales training (originally a webinar) into a dynamically personalized experience allowing learners to progress at their own pace and

in a way best suited for their skill, background and learning style.

Powered by adaptive technology, learning data is now used to personalize every learner’s experience, so that it adapts in real-time to their

behavior and performance. Immediate benefits include greater training efficiency, improved engagement, and reduced content versioning.

Early engagement with adaptive technology is promising

“Good introduction

to Codex. Helped

me understand the

concept.”

“Simply “FANTASTIC”! A

few weeks ago when I took

it I didn’t quite get the

concept of how the

adaptive learning process

worked. Didn’t understand

why I was getting questions

before having been

presented the material.

Now, I understand and I

really love the approach.”

“It was great and if I

forgot something; it

was easy to go back

in the course and

review the material for

that section.”

“The questions and case studies were

excellent – really helped to test my

knowledge.”

“The course is well-

structured and the material

was fitting to the learning

objectives.”

”I really like this

training format and

the fact that you

can do the

refresher training is

very helpful.”

“Overall experience was good.

The slides were crisp and neat

and the transcript is a good

feature.”
