L&D is at the exploratory stage of this disruptive technology, discovering how chatbots can deliver more natural and effective learning experiences.

Join Brightwave's Learning Technologies Consultant Nick Eastham and Senior Learning Designer Elly Davies to discover all the learnings from the process, including:

  • How chat interfaces impact learner experience
  • How they complement blended learning programs

  • Thinking differently about bot development
  • How bots can add value to learning right now.

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.
