            modules. This study also assessed subjective feedback to
            gauge resident satisfaction and perceived benefits of the
            AI-driven learning approach. Data collection extended
            to performance outcomes on simulation-based quizzes,
            aligning engagement metrics with academic progress.

            2.2. AI-driven learning platform
            The  study  utilized  the  edYOU  platform,  an  adaptive,
            AI-based educational system designed to personalize
            learning experiences in graduate medical education. The
            platform’s adaptive content delivery is grounded in key
            principles of adaptive hypermedia, which personalize
            learning pathways based on user modeling.  The platform

            also integrates two core components: The personalized
            ingestion engine (PIE) and the intelligent curation engine   Figure 1. Adaptive AI beings on the edYOU platform
