Different people like different ways of learnng. Since schools are using the same way to teach all people, people are using computers to have more "personalized learning" for theri own needs.
Personalized learning is useful because it would be much more efficient if people can go to the Internet and choose the class and content to learn since different people prefer different ways and paces to study. The internet study program is designed to meet different learning styles and personalities. We can see many online classes today and students can use videos, notes, exercises and information online to help their studies. In addition, people can enter their personal information in the website, then data on weaknesses and interest can be used to generate a lesson tailored to the individual. Then what can engineers do to improve learning? Given the diversity of individual preferences and the complexity of human brain, softeare engineers are facing a challenge of how to optimize learning methods. Furthermore, engineers are facing further challenges like how to test human brain and find out the most efficient learning method for everybody. New researches even think that people can have a faster way to get knowledge, like put a chip into our brain and then we can just download knowledge into our brains.
