Today, we're excited to have Program Development Specialist, Donald Clark, join us with the DC Department on Disability Services (DDS). Making tech accessible to all, is a core OCTO principle that always informs our work – which is why having DDS as a guest is so important.    The District's Tech Plan is focused on Unleashing the Possible. OCTO knows everyone can't unleash the possible – unless everyone has tech access. Whether it's our Web Team using tools to scan all DC Government websites for accessibilityor deploying the full suite of Microsoft Accessibility Solutions, when OCTO leads or supports initiatives, we strive to effectively serve people with different hearing, sight and neuro-diverse needs.  In the works now is an exciting collaboration with ODR to require DC Government agencies to ensure that their websites are fully accessible…so having DDS' Donald Clark – as our guest today is perfect! 

GTP hosts Steve Lowery and Yvonne Godfrey delve into the riveting case of Donald Clark vs. the State of Iowa with guest Mel Orchard from the Spence Law Firm. They explore the wrongful conviction of Donald Clark, a school counselor accused of sexual assault in 2009, and the subsequent legal malpractice case against his public defender for inadequate representation. The discussion highlights the significant emotional and physical toll on Clark during his six and a half years in prison, the courtroom strategies employed, and the eventual $12 million verdict for emotional distress.   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review   Case Details: The case revolves around a legal malpractice action against a state public defender, who represented a client convicted of sexual abuse. The client, Donald Lyle Clark, was convicted and sentenced to prison. The conviction was affirmed on appeal. However, in postconviction proceedings, the court determined that Clark's defense counsel had provided ineffective assistance and ordered a new trial. The state declined to prosecute, and Clark filed a civil action for legal malpractice against the state as the lawyer's employer. The district court granted partial summary judgment, holding that the finding of ineffective assistance in the postconviction proceedings established counsel's negligence as a matter of law. The jury found the lawyer negligent and awarded Clark $12 million in emotional distress damages. The Supreme Court of Iowa reversed the judgment for emotional distress damages. The court clarified that to recover emotional distress damages for legal malpractice, the plaintiff must prove more than negligence. The court held that the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of clear, convincing, and satisfactory evidence that the criminal defense attorney acted with willful and wanton disregard for the client's rights or safety. The court concluded that the district court erred by instructing the jury that negligence was sufficient. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

In this episode, Ben and Steve discuss the impact of AI on education with guest Donald Clark. They explore the rapid progress of AI in education, the shift from text-based learning to multimodal learning, and the potential for AI to revolutionise assessment. They also discuss the role of teachers in the age of AI and the need for a shift in teaching methods. The conversation highlights the growing importance of AI in education and its potential to enhance learning experiences. AI in education has the potential to address accessibility issues and personalise learning for individuals with disabilities. It can automate tasks like marking, reducing teacher workload. AI can also support learners in the workplace by understanding context and providing performance support. However, there are concerns about the impact of AI on teacher jobs and the need for teachers to adapt to new technologies. The transformation of education will require a shift in agency towards learners and a reevaluation of the skills and knowledge that are prioritised. The biggest challenge for education in the next 10 to 20 years is the political and social ramifications of an education system that produces a graduate class that looks down on the rest. It is important to ensure that AI in education benefits all learners and addresses inequality.

If you're thinking, isn't positive psychology a bit ‘woo woo', and a bit like forcing yourself to take a sunny outlook, then this episode is for you. As an approach to a happier, more balanced inner and outer life, positive psychology is not woo – it has a solid scientific foundation with practical methodologies. Gemma, Ross Garner and their guest, Leadership coach Sandra Berko, discuss these very points this week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast. We explore: ·       what positive psychology is and isn't ·       what the science suggests we do to find balance ·       how you can help others to use positive psychology. Ross mentioned an earlier episode of the podcast on job crafting. You can listen to Episode 271 – Jobcraft Country wherever you get your podcasts, or on our website: podcast.mindtoolsbusiness.com/271-jobcraft-country In ‘What I Learned This Week', Ross recommended the “Great Minds on Learning” podcast episode on Generative AI Theorists with Donald Clark. Sandra spoke about emotion codes, which feature in a course she's currently enrolled in. Emotion codes are based on theories developed by Dr Bradley Nelson.  For more from us, including access to our back catalogue of podcasts, visit mindtools.com/business.

The launch of GPT-4 on 14th March has provoked concerns and searching questions, and nowhere more so than in the education sector. Earlier this month, the share price of US edutech company Chegg halved when its CEO admitted that GPT technology was a threat to its business model. Looking ahead, GPT models seem to put flesh on the bones of the idea that all students could one day have a personal tutor as effective as Aristotle, who was Alexander the Great's personal tutor. When that happens, students should leave school and university far, far better educated than we did.Donald Clark is the ideal person to discuss this with. He founded Epic Group in 1983, and made it the UK's largest provider of bespoke online education services before selling it in 2005. He is now the CEO of an AI learning company called WildFire, and an investor in and Board member of several other education technology businesses. In 2020 he published a book called Artificial Intelligence for Learning.Selected follow-ups:https://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/https://www.ted.com/talks/sal_khan_how_ai_could_save_not_destroy_educationhttps://www.gatesnotes.com/The-Age-of-AI-Has-Begunhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-against-Education-System-Waste/dp/0691196451/https://www.amazon.co.uk/Head-Hand-Heart-Intelligence-Over-Rewarded/dp/1982128461/Topics addressed in this episode include:*) "Education is a bit of a slow learner"*) Why GPT-4 has unprecedented potential to transform education*) The possibility of an online universal teacher*) Traditional education sometimes fails to follow best pedagogical practice*) Accelerating "time to competence" via personalised tuition*) Calum's experience learning maths*) How Khan Academy and DuoLingo are partnering with GPT-4*) The significance of the large range of languages covered by ChatGPT*) The recent essay on "The Age of AI" by Bill Gates*) Students learning social skills from each other*) An imbalanced societal focus on educating and valuing "head" rather than "heart" or "hand"*) "The case against education" by Bryan Caplan*) Evidence of wide usage of ChatGPT by students of all ages*) Three gaps between GPT-4 and AGI, and how they are being bridged by including GPT-4 in "ensembles"*) GPT-4 has a better theory of physics than GPT 3.5*) Encouraging a generative AI to learn about a worldview via its own sensory input, rather than directly feeding a worldview into it*) Pros and cons of "human exceptionalism"*) How GPT-4 is upending our ideas on the relation between language and intelligence*) Generative AI, the "C skills", and the set of jobs left for humans to do*) Custer's last stand?*) Three camps regarding progress toward AGI*) Investors' reactions to Italy banning ChatGPT (subsequently reversed)*) Different views on GDPR and European legislation*) Further thoughts on implications of GPT-4 for the education industry*) Shocking statistics on declining enrolment numbers in US universities*) Beyond exclusivity: "A tutorial system for everybody"?*) A boon for Senegal and other countries in the global south?Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

So far, it seems 2023 has been the year of Chat GPT but what does it mean for L&D? Should you be using it now? Should your learning tech provider be incorporating it into their platform? Does this mean that the robots are coming for our jobs? This episode offers an intriguing glimpse into the future of corporate learning and the transformative potential of generative AI. KEY TAKEAWAYS Generative AI is here to stay. Seek out those who are using it and learn from them. Play with ChatGPT, take a real-life learning need, and use it to create a solution. People need support when learning. ChatGPT actually can be a learning assistant. ChatGPT 4 is way more advanced than 3.5 and includes an API so you can link it into other systems. Khan Academy, Duolingo and others are already accelerating learning using AI plugins. Creating learning content is much faster and cheaper using AI and opens up the chance for users to do it too. BEST MOMENTS 'It´s mind-blowing… It´s not a fad ' ' It´s dialogue not a monologue. ' 'Generative AI draws upon a body of knowledge that is sort of infallible. ' '(Using AI) learning and development can be truly achieved bottom up. '   Donald Clark Bio Donald Clark is an EdTech Entrepreneur, CEO, Professor, Researcher, Blogger and Speaker.

John Helmer is the host of two outstanding Learning & Development podcasts: The Learning Hack and Great Minds On Learning. In this episode, John condenses his insights and learning from the conversations he's led with Donald Clark about the people and approaches that have informed so much of the L&D profession. KEY TAKEAWAYS Experts tend to forget the gaps they had in their knowledge when they knew less, so tend to skip over things. It's a form of educated incapacity. A surprising amount of learning is unlearning some of the things that are almost instinctive to us. Learning and development professionals don't know or aren't aware of as much of learning theory and science as perhaps you'd expect. Our job as learning professionals, as special as any field, is to disentangle what is valuable about the new and not be scared of innovations. There is a tendency for the industry to repackage old approaches. That is only OK if it has been updated and tweaked to work in a modern setting. BEST MOMENTS' The expert has difficulty unpacking. So, my job is to help Donald unpack. ''How do you know that it works, and if you don't know that it works, does it work, and then do less of the stuff that you don't know works,'' There's a whole lot of counterintuitive stuff involved in learning, which is sort of something we talk about in the learning theory, that has to be to get around to make learning work. ''You should be ambitious for your profession. ' ABOUT JOHN HELMERJohn Helmer is a writer, editor, and communications strategy expert specialising in the fields of learning, training, education, and publishing, with a particular focus on digital technology innovation. He has led many programmes bringing together thought leaders and practitioners for knowledge sharing and debate, and writes for and edits numerous blogs, as well as producing many white papers and research reports (including articles for peer-reviewed journals).

Learning & Development seems to be constantly evolving but at the same time revisiting and reinventing what has come before. In this episode, we discuss the emerging trends that have their origins in the past and the pioneers that we all need to pay more attention to. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even today, much of what we do in L&D is not evidence-based. This has to change. We are not taking successful methods from the past and reworking them for the modern world. Instead, we are simply rehashing old theories, without looking for evidence that they work. We don´t look back to see who might have done what we are trying to achieve before. You have to understand the jobs of the participants, and do the cognitive task analysis. L&D is not all about delivering learning. They are there to solve problems that are holding the business back Stakeholder management is a vital component of delivering solutions that work. BEST MOMENTS 'There is a big gap between positive endeavour and evidence-based practice.' 'Do it well, or don´t do it 'You need to work with problem analysis teams and then with problem-solving teams.'

Donald Clark takes us on a fast paced journey connecting the state of L&D today with cave paintings, Plato, Mary Wollstonecraft and the metaverse. Where else are you going to learn the history of your profession so fast?

AI sells platforms. But what are we buying? Too often it's just recommendations for off-the-shelf content. But AI is about so much more and its potential in helping us achieve the aims of L&D is huge. In this episode, we explore the potential of AI in L&D, burst some of the myths around it and challenge the profession to expect more, much more from it.   KEY TAKEAWAYS AI has huge implications for all aspects of our lives, including L&D. It is already a surprisingly big part of our life. If you use Google, you are using AI. AI needs a clearly defined task, a precision task. AI only knows its task. Donald provides a memorable example of this in the podcast. Universities are already using adaptive learning tech to recognise bottlenecks in the learning process and find solutions. It also can create some of the training content e.g summarising text and generating illustrative images. People learn incidentally, on the fly, AI can help them to find and access the information they need as they need it. With AI you have to remember the garbage in garbage out principle. The outcome is only good if the instructions provided are sound. AI is a tool L&D can use not a replacement for L&D. BEST MOMENTS 'It looks like AI is a form of technology that is heading in a direction which transcends our abilities. Certainly, our brains and cognition. ' 'AI is good at precision tasks.' 'the world is changing around the professional learning world of education and L&D, we have to move towards that world.' 'We have new software that can personalise learning.'

Donald Clark is a man of many hats. He's an EdTech entrepreneur who was formerly the CEO and one of the original founders of Epic Group, a pioneering company in online learning, and he is now the CEO of Wildfire Learning, an AI company. He is a Visiting Professor at the University of Derby. And he is the author of at least two books - Artificial Intelligence for Learning, and Learning Experience Design. But today I am speaking with Donald about a different writing project. Over the last 20 years or so - and gathering pace in recent months - Donald has been collecting learning theorists. He has written an incredible series of blogs on 2500 years of learning theory - from the Greeks to the Geeks. When we recorded this conversation a few short weeks ago, there were 160 blogs in the series. At the time of publication, he is now up to 200. Helpfully, Donald has created an index, where you can see a list of all 200 learning theorists grouped under different headings - the behaviourists, the assessors, the vocationalists and so on. There's a link to this index below - you may find it useful to refer to it now and then as you listen to our conversation. This was a conversation from which I learned a huge amount. It is also an episode that made me think harder than I've had to do in a long time. And it's also one of the most political discussions I've had on the podcast to date. I'll try not to make a habit of it.

As we close out our seven-part series on the frontiers of learntech, we want to help you make sense of what the wide-ranging topics that emerged mean for the future of your learning business. Through the interviews with Ashish Rangnekar, Sam Sannandeji, Sae Schatz, and Donald Clark and our own reflective episodes, we’ve had the chance to touch on many different aspects of learntech. We covered everything from specific types of learntech, to the growing importance of data, the increasing need for organizations to have an integrated learning ecosystem in place, the essential role of standards in making such an ecosystem work, and, at long last, truly delivering on the promise of personalized learning. We also explored related philosophical and ethical concerns such as the accelerating pace of change, equity in access to learning technology, and the potential bias in the data and design of technologies. In this final episode in the series, we offer five suggested actions for how to make the promise of the frontiers of learntech a reality for your learning business: develop a data strategy, grow a learning ecosystem, conduct a feasibility study for XR, build a governance structure, and regularly reassess which learntech holds the most promise.

This marks the halfway point in our series on the frontiers of learntech. Our hope is that you have already begun to consider the implications this inevitable explosion in learning technology will have on your learning business.  And when it comes to implications we want to focus on some of the major themes that emerged from our earlier conversations with Donald Clark and Sae Schatz—particularly those related to bias and equity. Bias and artificial intelligence or, more specifically, bias in AI is not a new concern. But it’s one that’s been garnering more and more attention in recent years, and it feels appropriate to focus on it now because of the rise in social justice movements we’ve experienced here in the United States. In this fourth episode of the series, we explore the potential harm of bias in AI drawing on research from Joy Buolamwini and Cathy O’Neil, both featured in the Netflix documentary Coded Bias. We also discuss the difference between interpretability and explainability when it comes to understanding marketing AI, and why looking for bias in data is equally important to looking for bias in AI processes.

Artificial intelligence is only one of the many topics we'll discuss with world wide learning leader, Donald Clark. The digital area has significantly impacted every industry of modern life. It's been good in many ways and bad in others. Sadly, the lecture is still the primary means of educating humans in our current systems. Even if that lecture is presented online. But is that as far as digital technology can impact education and our learning systems?  I don't think so. And neither does Donald.We'll discuss the many changes in pedagogy throughout the years in an effort to better understand where we're going in the future. Artificial intelligence plays a major role in that future. But do we really understand how it impacts the work we do for businesses and higher education? Maybe not completely, but we're getting very close.This timely conversation is a perfect transition into the new world of work.  Whether your office stays at home or you move back into the corporate HQ, how you engage with content, create content, and publish content is changing rapidly.
