Dr. Robin Petterd, founder of Sprout Labs, discusses the development of digital learning platforms aimed at enhancing workplace learning through technology and data-driven approaches. Key topics include the integration of artificial intelligence, microlearning, and the shift towards Learning Experience Platforms (LXP) to better meet learner needs in a digital workplace. The document highlights the importance of aligning learning strategies with business data and emphasizes the need for personalized and engaging learning experiences.
Trends in digital learning - 2018
- 2. Dr Robin Petterd Founder of Sprout Labs
- 3. Sprout Labs builds digital learning platforms that enable you and your team to author, deliver and measure high impact digital learning ecosystems.
- 4. • The Learning While Working podcast • The blog • eBooks • The recordings of past webinars • The Learning While Working virtual conference
- 5. ● the use of artificial intelligence in L&D ● the maturation of xAPI and how L&D is becoming more data driven ● the relationship between microlearning and learning while working, and personalisation of learning ● the rise of digital workplaces and what this means for L&D ● virtual reality and augmented reality ● the new role of the LMS in a learning ecosystem and the growth of learning experience platforms …
- 6. Most people want to be better at their jobs and learn L&D often uses technology in a way that stops people learning
- 7. Consumer technology drives workplace technology
- 8. Digital learning is starting to focus on what a learner really needs
- 9. The technology to support VR is cheaper
- 10. It means no PowerPoints! Preparation - Experience - Debrief
- 11. Phone based - lower cost
- 12. PC based - higher cost and higher quality
- 13. Video based Still from WorkPl>ysVR (Bringing Virtual Reality Into Work Experience) for the Learning While Working conference session
- 14. Simulated Virtual Reality Demo for Safety Training - Working at Heights
- 15. Augmented virtual reality Magic Leap One
- 16. Virtual reality Augmented virtual reality Video based Simulation Cost for the technology Low - phone based - $200 High - $2000 Can be done with phones as well High Complexity of production Low - need a 3D camera High High Level of interaction Low High High Major reasons to use in learning Show someone a place or situation e.g. dealing with an angry customer To allow someone to practice a skill Performance support
- 17. Data driven
- 18. People don’t just learn in an LMS
- 20. It’s expected now that learning technologies are xAPI enabled
- 22. Business data Learning data How is learning going to impact business data? How is learning going to change in response to business data?
- 23. Data-Driven Learning Design — Lori Niles-Hofmann She talks about reading employees’ ‘Digital body language’. What are people searching for? What are people accessing? What are the trends? How is the data changing? Listen to the podcast at: https://www.sproutlabs.com.au/blog/data-driven-learning-design-and-digital-body-language/
- 24. What source of data should L&D be looking at beyond your LMS? Please add your thoughts in chat.
- 25. Linking learning and performance — GamEffective Changes in performance data – trigger micro-learning Dashboards to give employees feedback (visualisations make data easier to understand) Listen to the podcast at: https://www.sproutlabs.com.au/blog/personalisation-of-learning/
- 26. Microlearning is L&D realising what learners need
- 27. Microlearning is small components of learning whose purpose is to help behaviour change or support performance
- 28. microlearning microresources Designed to be accessed just-in-time, while working The end outcome of learning is behaviour change, and this means learning needs to involve practice, feedback, and reflection. Learning is a process not just information
- 29. Resources are useful for learning while working Performance supports - checklists, flowcharts, videos, infographics Learning happens as a process of doing
- 30. Microlearning is not adaptive and personalised learning, it’s not spaced learning, it’s not a learning campaign. It’s an enabler for these approaches
- 31. Drivers for microlearning • We are working more on mobile devices • We want to develop expertise faster • We are distracted Microlearning can help L&D teams become more agile by working in smaller chunks of work
- 32. We are distracted - micro learning helps with this BUT there is no research showing that microlearning leads to better learning outcomes
- 34. The rise of digital workplaces Integrated collaboration technology Office 365 - done well
- 35. Before Now We would add Enterprise Social Network platform Move to a digital workplace place e.g Microsoft teams Then you struggle with getting people to use it It’s an extra thing Collaboration is embedded in the way people work Status updates Chat Collaborating doesn’t mean people are learning - learning still needs to designed What does this mean for L&D? ‘Go to where people are’ - build learning experiences around these platforms.
- 36. It’s a term that is being used for learning platforms that are not learning management systems. An employee pulls in what they need Instead of pushing out what an organisation needs Experience is maybe not the best term What is a Learning Experience platform?
- 37. They give your learners the freedom to be self directed
- 38. A learner is able to choose their interests and content is being personalised based on those interests. Most include a content library - some ‘stream’ in content from elsewhere. Often they are a way of making content more accessible. Some allow users to upload content - but they are not just a social network. Features you might expect
- 39. Content in our personal lives
- 40. Your can get started by signing up for a personal account.
- 41. Streams of content Libraries Degreed, Fuse, Filtered, Curatr Skillsofts - 'Percipio', Goodpractice, LinkedIn Learning Social Just in time knowledge Two types of learning experience platforms
- 42. Learning management system Learning experience Focuses on compliance and role specific learning Focuses on want a learner wants to access Managing Just in time knowledge Could your LMS be re-thought to more like a learning experience platform? This is something you can do with an open platform. What happens to your Learning management system? Often there is a cross-over e.g. Fuse can be used for managing compliance training in a small organisation
- 43. A core feature of many Learning Experience platforms is the use of recommendation engines
- 45. ● ● ● chat bot
- 47. Podcast: Recommendation engines for learning, with Marc Zao-Sanders This a free service and is great way to get started.
