The software development world has made great gains over the last few decades moving to iterative and collaborative ‘agile’ methodologies. Content development has lagged behind tending to stick with more traditional, process-orientated planning rooted in a fear of expensive changes late in the process. Can you move content development away from this documentation-heavy mind-set to more a user-centred, iterative approach? Over 2015 Unicorn’s content team went agile and are now sharing the good and the bad of how they got on.

  • Where have lean and agile come from?
  • What are the core concepts and characteristics of the different methodologies
  • Why did we implement it at Unicorn and what flavour of agile did we choose?
  • How has it gone? The good and the bad?
  • Continuous improvement; where are we going 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.
