The main purpose of personalized learning is to give students control of what they learn and how they learn, intending to make education more practical and relevant. Technology enables students to access learning resources outside the classroom. Thus, this encourages students to actively solve real-life problems, to be critical thinking in all situations. From a teacher’s point of view, student data and feedback allow them to tailor designated content for students. Addressing students’ strengths, weaknesses, the teacher can provide certain assistance and support to students. This provides great help for not only online learning but also traditional teaching method. Digitalization in process and resource storing has been applied in many education systems for online information transferring and online library for example.
