LH #67 The Adaptive Edge with Andy Wooler
Adaptive learning has been bubbling under for a while in learning technologies, but it’s never quite broken through. Now that the technology to implement it, particularly AI, is maturing, and both investment and adoption are on the increase, is it finally about to go mainstream? John talks to Andy Wooler, Senior VP, Product Management at Area9 Lyceum, about about what adaptive has to offer, and also about the personal journey that has led to his current position. Andy has had a long and interesting career in elearning, on both on practitioner and vendor sides of the fence, giving him a unique perspective on the development of learning technologies. 0:00 - Intro 3:23 - Products at Area9 Lyceum 8:38 - How adaptive is this system? 15:41 - What blockers are there to overcome? 20:42 - Is Adaptive swimming against the tide of the learning market? 33:51 - 'We all learn together', not in isolation 47:31 - Where to follow Andy's activities Follow Andy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andywooler Website: http://www.andywooler.com/ Blog: http://www.andywooler.info/wordpress Twitter: @awooler Contact John Helmer Email: john@learninghackpodcast.com Twitter: @johnhelmer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhelmer/ Website: https://johnhelmerconsulting.com/ Download the white paper from Learning Pool written by John Helmer – The Spacing Effect: Harnessing the Power of Spaced Practice for Learning That Sticks https://learningpool.com/spacing-effect-harnessing-power-of-spaced-practice/
