Getting smarter at driving your own learning (and how to help others to do the same)

As a learning professional, you probably know that self-directed and self-regulated learning skills are important for all people, especially in a time where we need to be lifelong learners to have a job today and be ready for the future. But how about you? How are you driving your own continuous learning and what do you do to get better at it? Learning professionals have a critical role to play. If we want to support people to become better at driving their own learning, we need to set an example ourselves first (apart from the fact we want to stay in the game!). Do you know what it takes to drive your own learning? There's quite a lot to it but of course as learning professionals we don't shy away from putting effort in our own learning. Right?

  • What are self-directed and self-regulated learning? 
  • Why are self-directed and self-regulated learning important?
  • What does the research tell us about how professionals approach their own learning?
  • What can you do to get better at it over time?
  • How can you help others to get better?

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.
