Developing a digital language for learning

Mark G Weber, Chairman, Atticmedia

8027707897?profile=original
This talk looks at the many characteristic ways in which digital is used by those we think of as 'digital natives', or alternatively, generation Y, a generation that has grown up with digital rather than discovering it at a later age. It then asks what can we learn from this and how can we apply it to our design of digital learning resources. It concludes with some practical suggestions on what that might mean in relation to developing digital learning.

  • Relevant trends in digital as a whole
  • Relevant digital behaviours of generation Y
  • How we can apply this to our learning design
  • Unresolved issues and challenges

Making personalized, collaborative learning a reality 
Joel Hellermark, CEO & Founder, Sana Labs 
 
Collaboration and personalisation are two trends that dominate contemporary thinking about workplace learning. 
 
Collaborative learning involves synchronous, interactive live sessions with groups of learners, and is powered by social dynamics and community. 
 
Personalization focuses on self-paced instruction that responds to the unique needs of every learner, and is powered and scaled by AI. 
 
Is it possible to combine these two? According to Joel it is. In this session, he will explore what it means to combine these two approaches in entirely new ways—using social dynamics to increase engagement while responding to each learner’s needs to improve learning outcomes. Join us to explore the exciting possibilities of personalized, collaborative learning.
