More Than Just a Name: Why Student Profiles Are Key to Personalised Learning

When you think about a student profile, what comes to mind? Maybe just a name, student ID, and email address? In reality, a profile should be so much more – it should tell a story.

At Huddled, we believe student profiles are the key to personalised learning. They help students connect, collaborate, and get the most out of their education. Whether it’s an international student trying to find their place, a group project leader looking for teammates, or a lecturer aiming to understand their students better; profiles provide the foundation for a more connected learning experience.

The Power of a Complete Student Profile

A good student profile goes beyond just basic details. It’s a snapshot of a student’s journey; where they’re from, what they’re studying, their interests, and even how they prefer to communicate and collaborate. When students can see who they’re working with, it’s easier to form study groups, find support, and build relationships that enhance their learning experience.

For you as educators, student profiles offer valuable insights into class dynamics. They make it easier to facilitate group work, tailor communication, and foster engagement. Instead of treating students as just names on a list, you can create more personalised learning experiences that cater to individual strengths and interests.

Connecting Students in a Meaningful Way

One of the biggest challenges in education, especially for online learners or international students, is feeling isolated. Student profiles help bridge that gap. They allow students to find and connect with classmates who share similar interests or backgrounds, making it easier to integrate into their learning community.

For students, profiles is of huge value! They log in on day one and immediately see who else is in their class, what others are studying, and who might be a great teammate for that upcoming project. Not just that, students are now familiar with who you are! Reducing classroom discomfort as early as possible.

Why This Matters for Personalised Learning

Personalised learning isn’t just about tailored coursework, it’s also about fostering the right connections. When students feel seen and supported, they’re more engaged, more confident, and more likely to succeed. Profiles empower students to take control of their learning experience by making meaningful connections and accessing the right support when they need it.

At Huddled, we’re all about making education more connected, more collaborative, and more personal. Because learning isn’t just about content, it’s about the people too.

A profile is more than just a name; it’s a gateway to a better learning experience.
