  1. Wie Behavioral Economics und Nudging das Lernen im Arbeitsfluss verbessert mit Jule Deges - hier reinhören
    🎙️podcast.opensap.info/education
    Wie können Erkenntnisse aus der Psychologie zu Nudging das Workplace Learning verbessern? Darüber spreche ich in dieser Episode mit der Expertin und Beraterin Jule Deges: über Nudging-Strategien für informelles Lernen, das Oktagon-Modell als Framework und den Unterschied zwischen Manipulation und "Positive Nudging" #nudge #psychologie #workplacelearning

  2. How would workplace learning work if there’s an LLM driven removal of entry level jobs?

    Obviously predictions of the rise of the robots by tech elites should be treated with extreme caution. There’s a rhythm to these predictions which is always ignored when we see a fresh round of them. But LLMs have emerged at a point when inflation has increased operating costs for firms around the world, climate change means supply shocks will grow in frequency and intensity, higher interest rates have significantly increased the cost of raising capital, and equity investors are much more demanding of operational models than was once the case.

    Under these circumstances the claimed potential of LLMs for automation will inevitably be taken seriously by organisations trying to reduce costs. To be clear I think AI agents will be a disaster even on their terms: the task failure rate is enormous and it will be compounded by stripping away the human expertise which is needed to establish the parameters of their operation. But I don’t think it’s implausible that:

    (a) the failure rate will decline and protections against looping hallucinations will be established
    (b) there are certain activities where agents would be more reliable, as would individuals operating LLMs in an oversight capacity

    For this reason I think the Anthropic CEO arguing that half of entry level jobs could disappear is not inherently implausible, even based on the diffusion of current frontier models which don’t develop at all past their current instantiations. I suspect it’s probably high but that a decline in entry level jobs constitutes a plausible working hypothesis, even if we resist quantifying it.

    There are lots of questions posed by this but one which occurred to me yesterday: how would workplace learning work if there’s an LLM driven removal of entry level jobs? These jobs provide a trajectory through sectors in which individuals accumulating skills, experience and expertise through performing roles within organisations. This includes organisational know-how and know-where that we tend to assume develops through learning-by-doing, creating a bedrock of organisational culture upon which attempted automation would implicitly depend. There are lots of strange results which could flow from this, such as a post-LLM workforce defined by an ageing expert class with no capacity to reproduce them.

    How would the notion of a ‘career’, already a classed and retreating experience, survive under these conditions? What would it mean for how people imagine their future? What would it mean for the objective possibilities undergirding those imaginings?

  3. We believe that great #learning technology (#edtech) should "create spaces for thoughtful interaction/reflection/practicing" - and not just "organize content, somehow."

    It is probably true that there aren't too many approaches around that promote those "learning spaces". But #qomenius is one of them.

  4. I find this Phil Hill interview on #LMS and #EdTech remarkably insightful. For instance, about the trend to integrate #HigherEd with #WorkplaceLearning. We've been talking about this for decades... and it's happening in specific ways.
    Learning paths, competencies, badges...
    #UX becoming key.
    The fact that vendors haven't used data properly.
    Eminently clear and useful (even at double-speed).
    Strongly recommend!

  5. We believe that the future of #corporatelearning lies in "discourse learning": In intense, small-group-based conversations around complex topics.
    Read our white paper on the "triad of discourse learning" and about why this approach to #workplacelearning, #elearning and corporate #education makes sense: qomenius.com/post/triad

  6. Overvalued: individual cramming
    Undervalued: social learning

    Overvalued: gamification (a.k.a. bells &whistles)
    Undervalued: deliberate conversation a.k.a. discussion

    Overvalued: bite-sized, snippets, micro-learning
    Undervalued: social density, deepening, flow

    Overvalued: analytics, tests, tracking, surveillance
    Undervalued: invitation, discourse, confidentiality

  7. Why is #learning within small groups or cohorts far more effective than solitary cramming? Why is the small group needed to bridge personal insight & learning, and organizational impact, development and effectiveness?

  8. Some things must be experienced in person to be fully understood. This is certainly the case with #DiscourseLearning: online, small group-based and conversation-based learning, with top-notch didactics. It's a new way of tackling learning & development for teams and organizations.
