BACKGROUND: Adaptive learning (AL) platforms deliver content personalized to students on the basis of prior knowledge, adjusting content delivery based on individual preferences and differences in knowledge acquisition. This project compared a course developed in an AL platform with one in a traditional learning management system (LMS) only. METHOD: This pilot of an adaptive graduate nurse educator pathophysiology course was a randomized control group experimental study. RESULTS: Data from Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 semesters showed 86% of the participants (n = 21) strongly agreed that they learned better using an AL platform. All of the participants (N = 23) reported increased course engagement, and 86% (n = 21) reported they would like to take a course using this platform again. CONCLUSION: This pilot demonstrated a potentially effective way to support students' learning. Students perceived greater engagement with content, reported more effective learning, and expressed interest in taking a course in an AL platform again. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(6):327-330.].
