Claned is an ideal tool for gathering all personal learning materials and making them interactive through implementing social features, note taking features, and features to track own progression.
In order to develop lifelong learning skills, the user is required to follow own progression and aim to analyze and understand what choices affect on own development.
As teachers can modify learning paths and tailor the learning activities, based on student's ambition level and skills, the solution promotes an adaptive learning experience.
