The document discusses the importance of personalization in education, emphasizing learner-centric approaches and competency-based learning (CBL) systems. It outlines how traditional learning management systems (LMS) are inadequate for supporting CBL and calls for new platforms that focus on design, delivery, and achievement in learning. Key features for effective CBL platforms include personalized learning plans, real-time feedback, and the ability to track learner progress through integrated assessment and analytics.
