21st Century eLearning - Driving Productivity and Performance

21st Century eLearning

Why all your existing e-learning will fail!

E-learning is broken, yet many people don't realize it and those that do won't acknowledge it.  After 12 years as a CLO at a Fortune 50 company, Nick Howe wants to do something about it.  

Adaptive Learning combines computer science, big data and machine learning techniques, with state­-of-­the-­art pedagogy.  This has enabled the creation of new, simple-to-use e­-learning systems that adapt to the needs of each and every learner. Adaptive learning creates -­ at scale and at low cost - ­the experience of a personal tutor, guaranteeing proficiency while dramatically reducing time spent learning and returning thousands of hours of productive time back to the business.

Adaptive learning has been incredibly successful in K-12 and higher education, and is now coming to corporate education.

In this session, we will discuss . . .

• why brain science is sounding the death knell for traditional learning, 
• why things like gamification aren't necessary, and
• how you can use adaptive learning to dramatically improve the impact of your training programs.
