Another, from Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science and engineering at University of California, Berkeley, is building machines that are intelligent—that can see, hear, understand, learn, discover, help make plans, and decide how to behave.

1. Customise/personalise cirriculum based on individual needs and gaps
2. Assist to produce 'smart content' e.g. sourcing updated content, different formats of content, customised content
3. Task automation e.g. assessment marking, administrative tasks
4. Study assistance e.g. tutoring, chat bots
5. Admissions processes and selection]]> 2021-01-03 03:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1049271244 Chatbots caraledwards https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1049295222 “A bot is a tool that helps users complete tasks which can be easily automated. Many current bots are chat-based and are bundled inside messenger apps. You think you are ‘talking’ to a human, but you aren’t – it’s an automated service that can make sense of what you are typing. The chatbot, depending on the service it is attached to, can then transform your typing into commands that can be executed.”]]> 2021-01-03 03:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1049295222 Wearable Technology caraledwards https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1049762364 Wearable technology may:
1. Be a distraction and hinderance more than a learning aid e.g. continuous exposure to other apps and social media
2. Result in over reliance on such technology and stifling individual thinking/ critical analysis
3. Reliance on consistent and reliable internet access (depending on the type of wearable)

For financial services AI in particular has a place, given online services, products and solutions. In my commentary above I specifically mention some of the examples, such as robo advice, chat bots, share trading. I dont believe VR has a direct place in financial advice, which is my specialty, as financial advice is a soft skills, interpersonal relationship intended to be built on trust. ]]> 2021-01-04 09:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1051356305 GATE - H5P caraledwards https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1061005127 Which shell is that?]]> 2021-01-06 20:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1061005127 10 Tips to produce great video caraledwards https://padlet.com/caraledwards/AITDeLearning/wish/1061048140 1.

These tools are sometimes referred to as Rapid Authoring Tools.

An eLearning module is a learning experience that a learner engages with by working through a series of screens of information that can be presented a number of different ways using text, images, video and audio. eLearning modules are published as ZIP files and then uploaded to the Learning Management System.

  • Make learning more personable, tell a story, include emotional engagement and empathy
  • Provide a narrative that users can identify with
  • Create simple, visually engaging interfaces with a human touch
  • Make the interface a pleasure to use so users want to come back
  • Design for ‘Flow’
  • Show visibility of progress, competition through achievements, levels and unlocking, add in rewards like badges
  • Design so the user feels they have a choice of pathway rather than just a linear one
  • Provide elements to be revealed, discovered or searched for
  • Good instructional design ‘chunks’ learning appropriately, and goes progressively deeper.

    1. Gamification could be used to engage and motivate participants
    2. Badges could be used to reward and recognise achievements
    3. Evaluation will be conducted to measure the success and ROI of the program
    I have focused on the training of ethics in the financial planning industry over recent times, due to changing legislation for financial advisers.  Gamification could be used by presenting scenarios and the actions taken by the learner could result in different outcomes (ie. game). Whilst ethics is grey, this would more offer 'black and white' options between right & wrong outcomes. Badges could be introduced as the ethics training is to occur at multiple points over time. Evaluation on the learning itself has taken place, however ROI could consider such things as breaches of the Code of Ethics, however, the challenge is tracking/ monitoring of this in a large organisation and that there are many grey elements.

    Explain how you will use at least 2 of the other factors discussed (microlearning, story-based learning or adaptive learning) in this campaign.
    RESPONSE: As part of a myriad of eLearning courses that I must complete upon joining a large financial services institution there should be a customised pathway for part of the learning (adaptive learning). This could be based on the division of the company the employee is working in, job role, or simply, just specific interests. Many of the larger institutions now have learning databases such as LinkedIn Learning, allowing a plethora of customised learning options. Microlearning could be used as part of the induction process by having specific learning interactions rather than the new employee logging in to do a specific elearning course, a targeted email, teams series of engagements could be used.

    RESPONSE In my role working for large financial services institutions, many of these large organisations are now making available open source online learning platforms, some of which would be classed as a MOOC. This is an excellent way of offering choice and content to a large number of employees.
