Adaptive learning caters to the individual student instead of generalizing everyone into a single category of education.  It appeals to the individuals who are eager for instant gratification with technology as a resource.  In the culinary school I teach at, we use the Internet often searching for ideas and inspiration for projects.  We also use online resume builders and various search engines to network and find job opportunities.  The use of adaptive learning upens up a large source of information and ideas for students.
