Description¶

The article recommends that project leaders and researchers use the framework at the beginning of a project to reflect on the institution's context and readiness, selecting determinants relevant to their unique implementation setting. The framework "can be used to monitor and improve an ongoing implementation process by selecting and operationalising specific strategies that address the previously identified factors". It can also raise awareness of critical factors among researchers, instructors, and management.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Determinants must be selected from the framework that are relevant for the institution's unique implementation setting

Constraints¶

• The framework was derived from two universities in Switzerland and South Africa with distinct structural and socio-economic contexts

Target Learners¶

• higher education students

Target Learning Goals¶

• successful and scaled implementation of adaptive learning

Affordances¶

• Alif Adaptive Learning Implementation Framework

Claims¶

• Organisational readiness for adaptive learning is a multi-faceted construct operationalised through technological, individual, and leadership readiness [+W]
• Leadership commitment to adaptive learning was identified by both panels as a prerequisite, strengthened by strategy alignment and communication of empirical results [+W]

Related Strategies¶

• Assess team readiness across leadership, facilitation, communication, shared understanding, and capacity before starting
• Staged readiness strategy: establish policy clarity and faculty capacity-building before ambitious AI-enabled or online scale-up
• Getting-started sequence: build authentic partnerships, assess intervention-context fit, then budget for continuous revision
