There are crucial differences between adaptive learning platforms, of course, but there *are* valid and useful ways to lump those platforms together.

I’m happy to be corrected here but AFAIK no adaptive learning platform in 2014 can parse a student’s natural language conjecture and evaluate that conjecture as true or false.

That generalization may not be true for all time but in 2014 it’s a fair generalization. And a crucial one, since constructing and critiquing conjectures is one of those eight big things students are supposed to be doing in a CCSS math class.
