Innovation for success in online learning

Andy Jones, Learning Consultant

8027707897?profile=original
In the learning world ‘innovation’ is often misconstrued as something that involves lots of money, lots of time and a fair amount of fluffy thinking. And the crunch point: too often it’s not something organisations really want, although they certainly need it. We pay lip service to it but when the pressure is on we revert to a default position of 'let's just get something out'.

Andy Jones passionately believes that innovation in learning is important and vital, not as a set of whacky brainstorms, with no coherent outcomes, but rather as an intentional series of choices, questions and a loose, but well defined process.

Join Andy as he draws on real experience, the GB Olympic cycling team and Malcolm Gladwell to explore:

 

  • How many small changes can learn to massive effects
  • Why true innovation is rarely about brand new changes
  • Why innovation and permission go hand in hand
  • What the simple innovation process is and how it works
  • When it didn’t work, and what happened next

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.
