Personalized learning as defined by James Rickabaugh is:
An approach to learning and instruction that is designed around individual learner readiness, strengths, needs, and interests. Learners are active participants in setting goals, planning learning paths, tracking progress, and determining how learning will be demonstrated. At any given time, learning objectives, content, methods, and pacing are likely to vary from learner to learner as they pursue proficiency aligned to established standards. A fully personalized environment moves beyond both differentiation and individualization.

- Students learn in different ways and at different rates
- System was designed to teach content
- Was important because that information was not readily accessible unless it was known
- That information is now at our fingertips
