More than Mobile – Beating the Forgetting Curve

Donald Clark, Board Member Ufi and Non-Executive Director, Learning Pool.

Let’s be honest … people forget most of what they have been taught very quickly and, until now, no new technology addressed that. The forgetting curve will always defeat a single learning intervention. Spacing learning over time, however, has been shown to tackle memory’s natural inclination to fade. Couple that spacing to mobile devices and you have a winner. In this session Donald Clark explores how an app-based plugin to Moodle and Totara LMS could help fix the forgetting curve and raise job performance through improved retention.

  • Improving learner retention in the workplace
  • Practical advice on implementing spaced practice
  • Is today’s mobile learning really any good?
  • Reaching dispersed workforces with real ‘just in time’ training
  • Fortifying knowledge with catch-up and repetition

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.
