Indicators of adaptive learning in virtual learning environments: Systematic Literature Review

Digital Information and Communication Technologies act as partners in the educationalcontext, making it more dynamic through Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs). The adaptivesystem is based on technological solutions/tools, which allow the customization of teachingprocesses according to the student's singularities. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literaturereview (SLR) to elucidate which educational performance indicators best guide adaptive learning invirtual learning environments. To this end, we adopted the principles of Preferred Reporting Itemsfor Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) as a systematic review protocol, and asoperational support, we used the online tool Parsifal. The initial database search - IEEE, ACM, andScopus - returned 276 articles. After filtering based on the protocol, 16 articles remained part of theanalysis and discussion corpus. The RSL results indicate that most of the indicators used to guideactivities are based on the correctness and error of the questions. This shows that there is still muchto be implemented in learning adaptability in virtual environments; for a more holistic assessmentof learning, it is necessary to consider an integrated set of these indicators and not justindividualized analyses.
