<li>Learners may not find the course challenging enough or too difficult – courses are not personalised, leading to frustration and de-motivation</li>
<li>No monitoring of learner’s behaviour – courses do not provide automated interventions and feedback (e.g. when learners start to disengage or struggle with assigned tasks)</li>
</ul>
