AI in education: A review of personalized learning and educational technology

Open access

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has ushered in a transformative era, redefining traditional teaching and learning methods. This review explores the multifaceted role of AI in education, with a particular focus on personalized learning and educational technology. The synergy between AI and education promises to address individualized needs, enhance student engagement, and optimize learning outcomes. Personalized learning, enabled by AI algorithms, tailors educational experiences to the unique needs, preferences, and pace of each student. This approach goes beyond a one-size-fits-all model, fostering a more inclusive and effective learning environment. The review delves into the diverse applications of AI-driven personalized learning, ranging from adaptive content delivery and real-time feedback to intelligent tutoring systems. It analyzes the impact of these technologies on student performance, highlighting the potential to narrow educational gaps and cater to diverse learning styles. Educational technology, powered by AI, extends beyond the classroom, encompassing online platforms, virtual reality, and interactive tools. The review explores the integration of AI in curriculum development, content creation, and assessment methods, offering insights into how these technologies augment the teaching and learning experience. Furthermore, the review examines the role of AI in automating administrative tasks, allowing educators to redirect their focus towards personalized instruction. Challenges and ethical considerations associated with the adoption of AI in education are also scrutinized. Privacy concerns, algorithmic biases, and the digital divide are discussed, emphasizing the importance of responsible AI implementation. The review underscores the need for collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, and technologists to establish ethical guidelines and ensure the equitable distribution of AI-enhanced educational resources. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the evolving landscape of AI in education, with a spotlight on personalized learning and educational technology. As the symbiosis between AI and education continues to evolve, this synthesis of current research and trends aims to guide future developments, fostering an informed and progressive approach to the integration of AI in the educational sphere.

Key findings

  • AI-driven personalized learning uses algorithms to adapt content, pacing, and assessment to individual students, including adaptive content delivery, real-time feedback, and intelligent tutoring systems.
  • AI-enhanced educational technology is described as transforming curriculum development, content creation, assessment, virtual reality/interactive tools, and administrative automation.
  • The review identifies major challenges: privacy concerns, algorithmic biases, the digital divide, and the need for ethical guidelines and responsible AI usage.
  • AI is presented as potentially advancing educational equity by addressing diverse learning styles, improving accessibility, and fostering inclusive learning environments, though no quantitative outcomes are reported.

Methods

  • Design: narrative review of AI in education, focused on personalized learning and educational technology.
  • Data or sample: Not stated in the paper; no systematic search strategy, databases, inclusion criteria, or study sample are described.
  • Main analysis: thematic synthesis of existing research and trends, with sections on personalized learning, EdTech, challenges, equity, future directions, and recommendations.

Limitations

  • The paper does not state limitations of the review itself.
  • Evident from the text: it lacks a systematic review protocol, search dates, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and empirical data or quantitative outcomes; its claims are broad and largely supported by cited literature rather than original analysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
