1. Learning is personalized.- is when student studies and progress more independently, achievement becomes more uniform and time to achieve that level of achievement is variable, besides it means adjusting the student pace.
2. Learning is competency -based

Learner competencies also is a set of intellectual, personal, and social skills that all students need to develop to engage in deeper learning.
