Description

The excellent example of a Polish technology company that aligns with the trends of personalized learning is Codility.

Although this company is a global leader, it was founded in Warsaw and is one of the greatest successes of the Polish tech sector. Its platform perfectly illustrates the use of AI in the assessment and development of highly specialized professional competencies.

Company: Codility (founded in Poland, now a global company)

Technology: A platform for assessing and developing the skills of software engineers.

VET Field: Highly specialized IT training, programming, software engineering.

How Does AI-Powered Personalization Work?

Codility helps companies worldwide verify the skills of developers and support their further growth. This process is deeply embedded in data analysis.

  1. Objective Skills Assessment: Instead of relying on a CV, the platform gives programmers real tasks to solve in a controlled online environment. AI plays a role here in ensuring the test's integrity (e.g., by detecting plagiarism) and in the automatic evaluation of the submitted code.
  2. Detailed Analysis and Feedback: The system not only checks if the code works but also analyzes its quality: performance (computational complexity), style, and correctness across various test cases. The programmer receives objective, data-driven feedback.
  3. Identifying Skill Gaps: Based on the results from multiple tasks, AI algorithms create a "skill map" for each engineer. It precisely shows in which areas (e.g., algorithms, databases, security) the person is an expert and where they have gaps.
  4. Personalized Training: With such a map, the platform can recommend a personalized development path. It suggests specific types of training tasks that will allow the programmer to work on the exact skills in which they were diagnosed as weaker.

Connection to Course Concepts Codility's model is a practical implementation of the principles from the course "Creating Personalized Learning with AI":

  • Baseline Assessment (Module 2): This is the platform's foundation – a precise assessment of actual skills as a starting point.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making (Module 2): Both the assessment and the training recommendations are 100% based on objective data from the completed tasks.
  • Personalized Development Path (Module 2): Training is targeted and effective because it focuses on individual skill gaps.
  • Enhanced Skill Mastery (Module 1): Companies and their employees can invest time and resources in developing the competencies that are strategically most important.
