Data is more important than educators

According to Practical Applications for Adaptive Learning (ED128) course, it is the power of Data that is fundatmental to improving the performance of individual students. Pardon me if I believe the correct answer should still be educator, who motivates the student to use Adaptive Learning tools in the first place.

Gary Meers, Ed.D.

Your point is well made in terms of the educator being the catalyst for learner engagement and enhanced learning. The intent of the statement about the power of data is that data helps to clarify and guide instructors as they create adaptive learning tools that will be effective with students. The "human factor" meaning the instructor is still the linch pin in the learning process.
