David Warlick offers the following table as a summary of the comparison of individualized instruction vs personalized learning. Perhaps the most important factor to note is that with individualized instruction education is done to the student and with personalized learning education happens as a result of what the learner does.

“Teaching, or to teach, is to impart knowledge or skill to someone by instruction or example; or to give lessons in a subject. In contrast, learning, or to learn, is coming to know something, to acquire knowledge or to find something out. Therefore a teacher is a person who imparts knowledge or skill through instruction or example while a learning facilitator is one who creates an environment in which someone can come to know something, acquire knowledge, or to gain information and experience.” Harapnuik, D.
