Learning in the age of AI

Webinar1 min read

August 5, 2024

About this Resource:

AI is changing the skills we need to learn and how we learn, but not always in the way we expect! At edX we’re hearing that too much choice is overwhelming, with leaders more focused on quality than quantity when it comes to learning. Because of this, learners need and expect more direction. Finally, despite all the innovation, our research suggests that humans still want to learn from and with humans. 

Join us for an interesting discussion with the edX Director of Learning Strategy and Lecturer at University of Pennsylvania, and the CEO of HowNow as we make the case for longer-form directed learning in the world of short attention spans.

Webinar1 min read

About this Resource:

Agile companies can react faster, adapt more rapidly to meet the evolving demands of the business landscape and leverage new ideas for a competitive edge, resulting in increased innovation. A recent Deloitte study found that companies with a continuous learning culture are more than 46 percent more likely to be first to market, 36 percent more productive and 92 percent more likely to innovate. Further, these organizations tend to be 30 percent more likely to be market leaders in their industries for an extended period. They also succeed in creating cultures where people are empowered through technology to evolve, adapt and drive change more effectively. Join CLO for this conversation among leaders in learning and higher education as they explore why a culture of learning is the key to unlocking the agility that companies need in times of change and volatility.

Webinar: Learning post-COVID-19 — Are you ready? Think again!

Webinar2 min read

November 24, 2021

About this Webinar

This webinar was hosted by Chief Learning Officer Magazine and led by Udit Bhatia, Head of Learning at EY India and sponsored by edX. Please enjoy and see description below. 

COVID disrupted the learning industry to a great extent — and not just a single function. It represented a 360-degree turnaround for organizations and institutions, learning leaders and their teams, learners of all ages, freelance trainers, external coaches, technology platforms, service providers and many more such enablers. The good news is that the experience challenged conventional beliefs toward formats, created opportunities for new entrants, gave flexibility to learners to take charge, disrupted some of the business models positively to adapt to circumstances and also tested the agility of learning functions and leaders. However, there were some aspects that took a hit, like reduction in learning investments, in-person experiences, learning application, peer-to-peer networking and many established third-party service providers struggling to even sustain the lull periods.

As we move out of COVID, what will be the new balance — the new S-curve — and how will the learning industry adapt to this change once again? This webinar will focus on some of the hypotheses the professionals associated with learning can preempt, allowing them to do a quick sense check of their own ecosystem and take back a few suggestions on how they can adapt to yet another disruption.

Learning objectives:

  • Comprehend the learning shift — the pandemic changed this industry.
  • The big shift in the future — disruptions are not over yet.
  • What is keeping CLOs up at night — dilemma or delusion?
  • What can everyone do — now, next and beyond.
