Abstract

Agility as a capability to rapidly respond to changes and to reduce uncertainty in an increment-based way is also critically important in Educational Organizations, such as Colleges, Universities, online learning platforms, and educational service providers. Nowadays, people can easily get access to educational courses, and the ability to provide a personalized educational track and change it depending on an agile business context is critically important. The user needs to identify the target specialization or job and get the shortest path with the list of recommended courses and alternatives. This paper summarizes the key ideas relating to methodological principles and practical tools of agility that can be applicable to educational organizations and suggests the model that builds a unique educational path, based on users behavior, data on existing courses, and personal information. The suggested model uses gamification techniques to boost short-term motivation and allows customizing and rebuilding the educational track, also considering churn rate and the educational progress of the user.
