Education is now at a point whereby educational software is advanced enough that it can be more easily customized around the needs of students, educators and content creators. Adaptive learning is slowly gaining popularity in higher education due to the belief that it enhances student learning outcomes by providing personalized learning experiences .There is a strong belief that adaptive learning has potential to revolutionize higher education and change the landscape of higher education in the coming years .Instead of broad-based approach, students in higher education can have learning modules tailored around their specific needs, ways of learning and any learning difficulties they have .Adaptive learning is actually a departure from traditional pedagogical methods. Although many educators can see the benefits of adaptive learning the challenge is finding a way to implement it and to do so in a cost-effective way. Adaptive learning enables the learners to access study materials and study at their own pace and this improves student engagement with the study materials compared to traditional learning approaches Some of the challenges of adaptive learning systems is the lack of skills among instructors and learners on how to use the adaptive learning technologies. Lack of access to the internet by the learners is another challenge that limits their ability to access and use the adaptive learning systems This paper is based on the Technology Acceptance Model which is used to explain what influences the instructor and the learner to accept or reject educational technologies. By embracing adaptive learning universities can better support diverse needs of their students and help them reach their full potential, ultimately shaping the future of higher education for the better.
