- 7. Learning Paths Fishtree identifies a student’s individual learning path to give educators complete transparency into student learning, and into the adaptive learning process.
- 8. A student can either take the main path, or an adaptive path, informing the teacher if a student has learned from the resources provided, or if he/she has used outside resources.
- 9. • If a student takes an adaptive path, personalized resources are generated to suit his/her learning criteria. • A student’s learning is then completely transparent for the teacher who can view exactly which resources have been used in order to reach the specified objective. • A teacher can also view the time it takes a student to complete an activity, providing information about which activities may prove more challenging than others, and for whom.

- 12. Feedback Fishtree ensures the feedback process is as simple and effective as possible by providing students with a feedback request option when completing assignments. This option allows a student to ask the teacher a question in real-time. A teacher can then reply using the system’s built-in messaging feature. This allows teachers to offer instant feedback at scale, while ensuring no student falls behind.
- 13. Reassessment Fishtree allows teachers to intervene and reassess students at scale, in real-time, with one click. With an individual intervention option available throughout the entire learning process, a teacher can choose to reassess students at scale, whether at individual, class, or whole school level. This ensures every student successfully passes each topic covered, while making the reassessment process as simple and efficient as possible.

- 15. Personalization Fishtree allows for personalized learning by providing students with personalized resources when they’re needed.
- 16. If a student doesn’t pass the score threshold for an activity (specified by the teacher), personalized resources based on his/her Learning DNA are made available to improve a student’s learning outcomes this time around.
- 17. Pace Using Fishtree, all students are permitted to learn at their own pace. This is done by automatically reassessing students if unsuccessful with an activity, then allowing them to re-take the assignment using personalized resources. Students can request help or feedback at any time, and a teacher can choose to intervene as many times as necessary.
