astery inspires awe. In the arts,
sports and in the workplace, masters
and expert practitioners are exceptions,
outliers. If aware, intellectually, of the
science of expertise, we yet prefer,
emotionally and psychologically, the
mystique of mastery.
For instance, when my son sits down
to play Rachmaninoff, his grandparents
tear up in awe of their extraordinary
grandson. And he is extraordinary,
especially if you accept that no one is
ordinary.
Mostly, he has
developed
a daily habit of rising at 5:30 a.m. to
practice and receives guidance from
a private tutor on a weekly basis. He
is no prodigy, if that means that he's
endowed with innate qualities or gifts.
When listening to a prodigy, we would
never assume that level of proficiency
would be within our grasp. It would be
foolish or arrogant to think, " I could do
that. " In " Pride and Prejudice, " Lady
Catherine boasts of her unproven but
inevitable genius for the piano, " If I had
ever learnt, I should have been a great
proficient. " What if she is not as foolish
as she seems?
Certainly, high levels of mastery have
not been the goal of corporate learning.
Most would avoid claims that digital
learning facilitates true mastery. And,
generally speaking, innovation in digital
learning over the past 20 years has led
to broader distribution of instructional
content; it has not optimized learning.
So, what makes good learning? Many
would answer engagement, which
could mean minimally interesting

or even somewhat experiential.
We aim for a high rate of course
completion paired with high marks for
engagement. The types of business
challenges
successfully
addressed
through such a learning model are
not insignificant, but they are rarely
transformative.
Transformation
calls
for something else, something more
than minimally prepared knowledge
workers. It calls for mastery and higher
levels of expert performance.
The What and Why
of Adaptive Learning
The goal of adaptive learning, in contrast
to that of other digital learning solutions,
is not subjectively defined engagement;
at its best, that goal becomes deliberate
practice. It takes effort, specific guidance
