As Ben Betts wrote in a recent blog post, ‘the LMS is the first point of entry to learning; the front-of-house of our industry.' While that front-of-house may look a little different now than it did twenty years ago, and despite the oft-repeated claim that the LMS is dying, it remains the default gateway to digital learning in organizations. But are things about to change? To answer that question and others, Ben joins Ross D and Owen on this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast to discuss: ·       the many eras of the LMS, and how we got to where we are now; ·       the forces that have shaped e-learning interfaces over time; ·       how AI and other changes in the tech landscape might usher in a new era. You can read Ben's blog post, ‘What's the Next Generation of E-Learning Interfaces?', on his website. In ‘What I Learned This Week', Owen recommended the podcast Acquired, and Ben mentioned the website ‘There's an AI for That'.

Ben Betts, our CEO, joins us to reflect on a year full of change in the learning industry and at Learning Pool. Expect hard-hitting questions from the podcast team, as well as super-important festive ones, like ‘Brussel Sprouts yes or no?'. Plus, Luke and Stefan look back on the podcast and wonder ‘have we made e-learning suck less this year?'. So, sit down and treat your chilly ears to this holiday special.

Learning Pool, the award-winning learning technologies company, has announced the launch of a major new product ahead of its 14th annual Learning Pool Live user conference. The release will leverage the know-how of People-Analytix, a Swiss based pioneer in AI-powered skills technology, who were recently acquired by Learning Pool. The shift to put skills at the centre of Learning Pool's technology offering is a wider reflection of the most profound change we've seen in learning technologies in recent times. Ben Betts, Learning Pool CEO, commented: “Every global enterprise is struggling to attract and retain skilled employees, and the widening skills gaps that are stopping businesses from growing at the pace they desire are apparent in every boardroom conversation. Learning Pool's acquisition of People-Analytix, and the subsequent advancements it will bring to our platform, means that we can now give customers the power to automatically address skills gaps as they appear. It is a tremendously exciting technology and a fundamental component in our wider mission to support talent development in creating extraordinary performers”. Learning Pool notes that analysts and market commentators are keen to point out that the pivot to skills is not a temporary fad, but a fundamental shift in the way we think about talent and development. According to Gartner, ” Skills are fast becoming the main talent-related currency in terms of hiring, workforce planning and optimization, career development, talent marketplaces, and learning” from the Market Guide for Talent Acquisition (Recruiting) Technologies. The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, as many as 50% of all workers will need reskilling. To address this global issue, skills development can no longer be satisfied by being simply reactive. Forming a key part of the Learning Pool platform, customers will use the latest release to assess the current skills within their organisation, plan for the future and close the gap through Learning Pool's platform and content libraries. All in a single solution. Betts continued, “Our latest release is powered by the incredible AI that People-Analytix and their partners have been developing over the better part of the past decade. The work the team have done has been lauded as one of the smartest ‘skill cloud' executions available in the market today, and that's been backed up with real-world success stories”. Taking a highly user-centric approach that is unique in the marketplace, the product announcement includes: A unique personal skills profile. From the outset, each user will have a completely unique and personal skills profile, fully capable of recommending the next best step for their development, based on up-to-date market data, summarised into a seamless and automated experience. A market leading ‘skills ontology', providing a categorization of skills that creates a common language, defining the aspects of a specific job rather than relying on blanket terms and descriptions. Other providers in the industry use more limited methods of taxonomy, essentially hardcoding a hierarchy of jobs or competencies into their products, putting additional pressure on learning and development teams, whilst inevitably becoming an outdated, poor reflection of how people do their jobs. External employment marketplace data, updated daily to help both workers and administrators understand the skills that are in highest demand / shortest supply, and to keep pace with the rapidly changing demands of global workplaces. A range of new learning experience types, including gig projects, internal mobility, mentorships and social learning opportunities, to broaden the methods by which employees can enhance their skill profiles. Updated and personalized learning recommendations, giving learners the best resources, social interactions and learning experiences to improve the most in-demand skills are available on the platform. Users can re-skill or upskill using diff...

Coming up on Episode 09 of the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast, we have Jermel's good friend, Coach Ben Betts.   Coach Betts spent 2 of 4 years with Jermel at the College of Charleston. They developed a great bond during that time. After games or on the weekends Jermel would go 'chop it up' with Ben just to be a sponge and soak up knowledge.   Coach Betts drops some of that knowledge in this podcast. TUNE IN!

“Curation means very different things to a lot of people. Curation is really the art of bringing together different learning assets or resources, to create meaning for people, and for people to find the meaning in that for themselves. If you think about how we traditionally have done things in the past, it's really around creation, getting people from point A to point B, very instructional. Curation is very different to that; how do you bring together multiple points of view, potentially opposing points of view in order for people to find meaning?”  In this episode, Wes Tobin shares his team’s curation journey at Westpac and how listening to what learners want and giving instructional designers more freedom is changing the way their organisation learns.  Hosts: Karen Moloney & Michelle Ockers Producer: Amanda Ashby Guest: Wes Tobin Resources: Examples of Westpac curated content packages  Book: Ready, Set, Curate – 8 Learning experts tell you how, by Ben Betts   https://bit.ly/2jYXyOr   Centre for Modern Workplace Learning: Jane Hart’s website https://modernworkplacelearning.com/     More episodes & info:  More episodes:  https://learninguncut.libsyn.com About the Learning Uncut  podcast:  https://bit.ly/2HarIDD

Ben Betts from HT2 Labs is back on the podcast in this interview. Ben is passionate about using social learning to build high-impact learning experiences. HT2 Labs are also the people behind Learning Locker, which is an open source learning record store for xAPI data. At the Learning While Working conference, Ben talked about the work that HT2 Labs have been doing on how they are measuring social learning. The recording of that conference session goes into more depth on that work than this podcast does, so if you’re interested in what Ben is doing I encourage you to watch that recording. The work HT2 Labs is doing is built around a series of machine learning methods that are called ‘natural language processing’, which I think of as a series of methods that look for patterns in language. It’s maybe the most complex area of machine learning. The podcast starts by exploring data, AI, and automation in L&D, then moves into using natural language processing and measuring social learning data. To go along with the podcast series we have released an eBook with all transcripts of the interviews. To go along with the podcast series on How artificial intelligence is changing the way L&D is working, we have released an eBook with all transcripts of the interviews. The eBook also gives a brief explanation of what AI is and an overview of how it is being used in L&D.

For over a decade, SCORM has been the industry standard for e-learning, helping learning and development professionals track the completion of courses and recording assessment scores. But now there's a new standard in town: xAPI, offering far larger data sets and the ability to connect multiple platforms. On this week's podcast, Ben Betts from HT2 Labs and Andrew Downes from Watershed join Ross G and Owen to ask what opportunities xAPI creates.

Do we really need to produce new content in L&D, or should we just teach people how to learn for themselves? How would we then measure success, or demonstrate our output to the board? Ben Betts of HT2 Labs joins Justin and Owen to discuss the role of curation in L&D on this week's show.
