Sharma, Nguyen, and Hong systematically review empirical studies connecting adaptive digital learning environments with self-regulated and socially shared regulation in collaborative learning. Their search and coding identify seven recurring objectives: feedback and scaffolding, regulatory skills and strategies, learning trajectories, collaborative processes, adaptation and regulation, self-assessment, and help seeking.
Adaptive systems can personalize prompts, representations, feedback, and paths, while collaboration introduces collective planning, monitoring, control, and reflection that cannot be inferred from individual traces alone. The literature uses heterogeneous theoretical models, settings, technologies, and measures, limiting cumulative conclusions. Important gaps include few informal-learning studies, weak theoretical convergence between individual and shared regulation, and difficulty monitoring how regulation is coordinated across group members. The authors call for clearer constructs, multimodal and process-sensitive measures, and designs that support rather than automate learner agency.
The review provides a map of opportunities but does not establish that adaptation by itself improves regulation or collaboration.
A transparent research trail
Each entry identifies the volume, edition, chapter or appendix in which the work appears.
Evidence summaries explain the central idea and why the source matters to educators.
Entries link to lawful full text where available, or to a publisher, library or purchase page.
References are checked against publisher records, scholarly indexes, DOI or ISBN metadata, repositories and author records where available. An entry marked [Citation not verified] preserves the wording found in the relevant volume without attributing findings to an unconfirmed work.
