Content tailor made for individual needs

(Article about Generation21 by J. McMurtry see USDLA Journal in What I read)

Teachers have the option to combine learning content to the specific needs of groups and individuals. The technique also provides testing features. The test is the basis to create the relevant learning content, leaving out elements the learner already knows.

The innovative part here is the customization (buzz word in nowadays ICT) of learning content.
