Artificial intelligence is a complex topic for L&D professionals, but in this episode of Instructional Designers in Offices Drinking Coffee #IDIODC we try to learn more with world-wide learning leader, Donald Clark.
The digital era 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 discussed the many changes in pedagogy throughout the years 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.
And AI is a big part of your future success. Watch the replay for a wide-ranging and entertaining conversation with Donald Clark.
Donald is also offering the following 20% DISCOUNT CODE for his book Artificial Intelligence in Learning: AHR20
