    Practical AI Use Cases for Creating Performance-Based Learning



    Ed Duffy



    Daniel Pires

    Curious how AI is really being used in learning?  Want to see real-life examples of how AI has already been used to create interactive scenario-based learning?  AI is here and it's being used today for performance-based learning.  

    In this interactive session, Ed and Daniel will share practical experience and lessons learned in creating performance-based learning using AI tools. They will begin by discussing how AI will disrupt both learning content development and learning design to become the medium for learning delivery. They will then demonstrate specific use cases to show how AI is being used to create a variety of performance-based courses - - including scenario-based learning, and customer service role-plays. Following these demonstrations, they will share their predictions regarding how AI will enable virtual tutors and coaches to be created to support learning performance on the job in real time.

      The New L&D:  Implications from the Post-Cognitive Revolution



      Clark Quinn

      Is your Learning & Development up to date, or is it still operating on last century's models?



        Session Description

        The recognition that we're not formal logical reasoning beings is one thing, but there are further revelations.  Increasingly, cognitive scientists suggest we're continually tryuing to model the world with predictive coding, and there's a growing exploration of features "outside" our brains.  What are the implications for design?

        In this session, we explore the new revelations from research, and then document the resulting suggestions for designing learning that is not just performative, but transformative. 

        About the Speaker

        Clark Quinn, Ph.D. helps companies ‘work smarter’ through learning technology strategy. An internationally known consultant, speaker, and author of six books, he integrates a deep understanding of cognition with broad experience in technology to improve organizational execution, innovation, and performance. He works on behalf of clients through Quinnovation.
