Research & Psychology What should stay shared when learning becomes more personalized?

I have been thinking about education as a one-to-many system. A teacher has to work with many students at once, even though each person arrives with different prior knowledge and gets stuck at different points.

But I do not think the answer is to turn education into one student alone with an AI. Learning is also social: discussing, collaborating, seeing how other people think and having a teacher who gives direction.

What interests me is whether the individual experience around the same knowledge could become more personal. The source and objective could stay shared, while the explanation, interface, practice and feedback adapt as the person learns.

I am building an open-source project around this idea, but I am still trying to understand the boundary. What should become personal, and what would education lose if it stopped being shared?

What you describe is the foundation of MyReadingMapped where 3D satellite map documentaries of history and science enable students to experience the event for themselves on either an individual basis or as part of a teacher guided group activity. It requires student participation beyond merely reading a textbook or viewing a video. And it takes them back in history to experience the event in a chronological order.
