In the world of constant #change and a lot of uncertainties, it is good to see a broader picture. Beyond the change. My article in Learning Solutions magazine of the #LearningGuild. #Learn more in the linked article.

I feel honored to find myself among some great minds in the industry. I am happy to share my experiences and to always learn from other people, too. Incuding all the participants of #DevLearn 2024. I hope to see many of you in Las Vegas. I will be talking about maximizing learning impact during the (corporate) events.

An event is no longer just an event, it is a series of connected activities. You check »what is in store« at the event, you register (possibly early enough to get a great discount), you anticipate the event, think about it, attend some related webinars, establish some social bonds … And then the event days come, culminating in knowledge sharing and other learning-related activities. Saying goodbye does not mean saying goodbye to the event, to learning you have just »consumed«, to connections you have just made. It is the beginning of your transfer into practice, the continuation of your #learning. During the 20th anniversary of #DevLearn in Las Vegas in November I will be talking exactly about this – maximizing the learning impact of an event. Many L&D professionals are involved in various organizational events, in organizing conferences, meetings. Join me to learn some best practices, to share our experience … and do not forget to claim your special discount of $300 before Friday, Aug 16th 2024.

Eye opening article by Pamela Hogle 🇮🇱. ➡ Maybe we can still write on our own, not with AI. ➡Maybe editors are not so much out of fashion as suggested by the progress of AI. Overuse of the Generative AI, just for the sake of cutting corners, is certainly not good. I am still insisting on using AI only as a »brainstorming and conversation partner« and then I write with my own words. Yes, I use grammar checks, but again, only accept sensible suggestions, not some »bombastic« words that really do not contribute to the message. As in most cases, technology is a tool, is not replacing a human entirely. The hammer must be in human hands and used properly! And has to reflect the “person`s style”, that is why in the history there were unique artists, whose work we can immediately recognize, that is why we had architectural styles … As the author says: “A piece of writing should reflect the author's voice.« #ai #learning #comprehension

Last week I had an honor to address the latest generation of graduates at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Computer and Information Science. It was great to see many young people deciding for the profession that is categorized as #STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). In my speech I mentioned the responsibility that these experts have, strengthening a similar message of the Dean, Mojca Ciglarič. ➡ They are the ones who know the depth of the algorithms, the implications of the technology – and they are the ones who have to use this technology for the benefit of the mankind, they are the ones who have to present the solutions in a way that will improve people's lives. ➡In times of glorifying technology and sometimes forgetting the human aspects, the expert’s role is to focus on human aspects and use the technology as a great tool. The experts are the ones who connect the technology with proper use, in a way that improves people`s lives. The true mission of experts is to learn, discover, develop, understand and promote the technology. This leads to fulfillment of their career. I encouraged these young people to nurture their #curiousity, to always strive for understanding the technology in depth, while at the same time keeping a broader perspective to assess all the implications. And to constantly seek for their talents, to brush them and develop them.    (all the photos by Andrej Križ)
