All of the tools that PROEDUCA puts at its students’ disposal let them be in direct contact with other classmates, professors, and tutors, from whom they receive educational support and personalized attention. The students are the protagonists of adaptive learning; thanks to this approach, they cease to be passive recipients of information and convert into active collaborators in the educational process.
