How to Ensure a Successful Delivery and Implementation of Learning Projects when Practicing Digital Transformation

Based on the lessons learnt from 15 years’ of digital transformation projects, this session sets out to identify best practices and success factors for the implementation and adoption of learning projects.

All too often, against a backdrop of high-speed technological innovations, successful adoption will spring primarily from consistent work in the concentric domains of implementation and change management.

The role of for instance vision setting, business case evaluation and investment in change initiatives are often overlooked, yet they are at-hand enablers and key success factors when practicing digital transformation. In this session we will focus not only on their role, but also on how to apply and incorporate these into your daily practice.

Learning outcomes from attending this session will include:

- An understanding of the distinction between a "project management logic" and an "implementation management" approach - and the value of the latter in relation to handling innovation and change.

- Examples of overlooked/additional project activities that will help make your digital transformation projects more successful

- A better understanding of the persistent value of vision, business cases and change work from organisations and their management, regardless the changing technological products or paradigm shifts

- Insights into best practices based on presented case-studies

Video for Learning - What the Research Says

Video for learning is great at some things, not so great at others. Research evidence shows that many of the things we do in video can result in illusory learning: it may look as though people are learning and they may feel as though they are learning, but it is an illusion. To produce effective videos for learning we must look at learning research. That not only tells us about the cognitive basis of good learning, it gives us sound recommendations about what we need to do to increase retention, some of it surprising and counterintuitive. You have to break some of the rules of traditional video production and directing to adjust video towards learning.

Among others, we’ll discuss why, when and how to: chunk videos; support learner-created videos; produce interactive videos, boost learner engagement & retention and; use AI for video generation.

“Grasping” Learning Ecosystems

As the world has undergone tremendous change throughout the last two years it became evident that traditional concepts of organising learning and development have reached their limits. An emerging concept for organising learning and development are “Learning Ecosystems”.

This panel session introduces a conceptual model as a frame of reference for understanding what is meant by “learning ecosystems”, what learning ecosystems are not, and which dimensions need to be considered in the implementation process. Following this introduction, the session shared best practices from different L&D practitioners.

George Bekiaridis

CareerChat (UK)

In today’s world, change is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Societies everywhere are undergoing a deep transformation. The Covid-19 pandemic, Industry 4.0 disruption, climate change, and an ageing workforce have become realities impacting on the social and economic fabric of societies.

Advances in technology are creating new tipping points that can trigger new ways in which customers and practitioners can access trustworthy careers information, advice and guidance at anytime of the day or night. The deepening divide between the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ is forcing us all to consider how best to prepare for a fast-changing world of work.

Since March 2020, a team of highly experienced researchers and technology experts have worked on the creation of a unique and innovative Careers Chatbot (CiCi), powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. We believe that bots and humans can work together. You hear a lot about bots and technology being disruptive, but they do not need to be. This work is greatly influenced by the idea of social technology, of using combined human and digital resources to influence social processes – this can help individuals to prepare for possibilities rather than just simply make plans. We will set out key lessons learned and ideas for further development.

Agenda

1.    Welcome Introduction to the team – 5mins
2.    CiCi the careers chatbot demonstration and q &a session – 25 mins
3.    Practitioner observations: technology-supported learning and training – 30 mins

4.    Design and development challenges and opportunities – 30 mins
5.    Use of labour market information / intelligence – 30 mins
6.    Question & Answer session – 15 mins

Outcomes

•    The potential of chatbots in careers guidance and education
•    Different kinds of chatbot
•    How to design a chatbot
•    How a chatbot gets its character
•    How to use labour market data in careers education
•    Ethical issues around chatbots

Switching Education and Work from Talent Killers to Talent Enablers

Disruptive culture innovation ideas by teachers, students, managers and employees that want to work, learn and innovate as “One Generation”

Organisations, companies, schools and regions have to adapt to a world that is flooded with information and "unintended consequences", caused by the negative impact of non-sustainable innovations from the past.

We must boost learning and innovation by reinventing education and the organisation of work. Without bringing together the best of all generations as "One Generation", we will be unable to solve the challenges we face.

Panelists will inspire you as they defy boundaries as part of a unique programme, which has brought them together in a "pack", consisting of teachers, students, managers and employees.

Together they have formulated powerful ideas and will introduce a complete new mindset about learning, working and innovation.

How Digitalising Multilingual Certification Programmes Can Drive the Deployment of Innovative Technologies, Sue Martin

Over the last 12 months TÜV Rheinland has been digitalizing global content to deliver certification programmes worldwide. As a global TIC organisation with technical qualifications ranging from lead auditors to welders, many exams contain an essay, case study or practical element, also covering a multitude of languages worldwide. One of the pandemic challenges faced was that assessors could not travel and TÜV Rheinland needed a way to make sure customers could continue their certification path in spite of the adverse situation.

In this Presentation Sue will describe how TÜV Rheinland approached this challenge and focus on two case studies – the delivery and marking of diverse assessment types, such as essay questions for multilingual exams and the marking of practical exam for Electric/High Voltage technicians around the world with the assessor in the UK, candidates in Spain and Brazil and a global support team in Germany. TÜV Rheinland will share the lessons learned and the benefits for this approach in driving new technologies and opening new markets.

The same year his publication "The Military Instructor's Handbook" was published by the Danish Defense College in Danish and English language and is now syllabus on the Danish Defense NCO instructors training. Thomas holds a Master in Adult Learning and HR Development from Aarhus University.

Reaching Ambitious Learning Objectives By Using VR, EdTech and Traditional Training Methods, Thomas Grønlund

Too many learning objectives, that would be met in class by group discussions, collaboration and practical training, risk to be met by unambitious EdTech based learning activities.

Thomas will introduce a taxonomic framework developed for global training of employees in the wind industry, and will present examples of how to use virtual reality training in work safety courses to reach complex learning objectives. All participants are invited to share their own knowledge and experiences with EdTech solutions.

Outcomes:

- Deeper or broadened insight on digital possibilities in teaching and learning designs

- Enhanced focus on the need for alignment between learning objectives, learning activities and evaluations/assessment

- Curiosity or courage to utilize more advanced EdTech

- Joy and satisfaction in sharing and putting own experiences into perspective

Virtual Reality Applications and Immersive Learning within the United Nations, Tom Wambeke

During the pandemic a specific webinar fatigue generated a new need to move beyond traditional Zoom and Gloom webinars. The Virtual Reality immersive learning experiences generated in a few UN agencies restored the capacity to be again in the same (virtual room), with a specific form of embodied learning and a touch of immersiveness which is lacking in a lot of technology enhanced learning solutions. This presentation explores the methodological recipe, which can uplift the VR initiative from gadget status towards a more deep form of learning.

Outcomes:

Participants will be exposed towards practical lessons learned from a series of pilot projects and will have the possibility to see how VR theory connects with VR practice into a large organisation, with the possibility of being inspired to start their own VR initiative.

- Immersive Learning moves beyond learning technology and needs an adapted pedagogical strategy

- Immersive Learning is currently scaling up and will be part of the new normal

-To move from pilot to a scaled strategy you need a multi-dimensional strategy that touches technology, logistics, pedagogical guidance, trained experts and a solid learning vision

VR and Ethical Design for Learning, Wojciech Bednaruk

Virtual Reality brings considerable promise as an ultimate immersive and engaging learning experience. As the VR technology becomes easier to use, the instructional design models become more accepted, VR becomes a viable option for L&D teams. However VR brings interesting ethical areas of inquiry. VR is a fundamentally different learning technology that changes the power dynamics between the subjects and objects of the learning processes. It gives the designers the tool that requires ethical sensitivity more than any other learning tools in the past.

You will gain understanding of how best to:
- Include the ethical considerations in the VR instructional design process
- Include a user-centred approach within the embodied cognition theory of learning
- Focus on learner well-being and emotional safety in the VR based learning environment

Virtual Reality Safety Training: a First-hand Experience Report from the Field about Failures and Successes

From afar, the added value of virtual and extended reality technology for training on safety-related topics seems obvious.
But it is not only because of Corona that the large-scale introduction and self-evident use of XR technology in the safety-relevant area has not yet taken place. Learning from the reasons responsible for this and bringing the (obvious) benefits to bear better and faster is crucial for success in the post-Corona era.

Learning Outcomes:
- Dos and don'ts when starting projects with XR technology
- Designing trainings with XR from a didactic perspective
- Outlook on XR tech trends in the post-Corona era

We will discuss how to give your learners personalised learning spaces, how to prepare courses based on learners’ individual strengths, weaknesses, goals and learning behavior, and how to design courses that adapt to the learner’s activities in real-time.

Taking Ownership of Learning - How Technology can Support Learner Confidence in an Uncertain World, Louise Rowland

This presentation will explore the technology solutions that exist and are under development to tackle the problem of the learning divide - and the ways in which they can support those furthest away from either formal education or workplace learning.
We will look to answer three questions within the presentation, building on work we have funded and research and consultation we are currently engaged in: 1. What role can voctech play in re-engaging and motivating learners? 2. Is there a wider community or place based role that voctech can play to support learner engagement and increased confidence? 3. Can voctech play a role in supporting learner confidence within formal education settings?
This will be of particular interest to those who are grappling with the significant increase in loss of engagement and confidence, as well as those looking to understand ways to support communities and groups, such as under privileged learners, through better access, opportunity and provision. We will use a mix of case study and overview to highlight possible solutions and ways to tackle challenges.
Learning Outcomes:
- What role can voctech play in re-engaging and motivating learners?
- Is there a wider community or place based role that voctech can play to support learner engagement and increased confidence?
- Can voctech play a role in supporting learner confidence within formal education settings?

Resilience at Work

In this session you’ll have a chance to meet and engage with others who are making sure that learning can have a bigger impact by investigating “resilience” in a pragmatic way. If we view resilience as having the capacity to re-shape, to develop the adaptive capacity to change, then we allows ourselves to approach the concept as a method, with a set of skills that are learnable and teachable. This approach can be applied to individuals, teams and organisations in their drive for resilience. How can these skills be acquired? How will you adapt to support resilience? What are your team’s needs to keep the pace and stay afloat?

L&D's Influence on Workplace Learning

Learning and skills have never been more important at work and we now have an opportunity to change both how organisations approach learning, and the way L&D carries out its role. This includes reskilling and upskilling employees to equip them for the 21st Century, but also goes beyond that. The learning ecosystems of the future require not just new technologies, but new approaches and a new mindset – for leaders, employees and the L&D department itself.
