Experiential learning is proven to be more effective in
comprehension and retention compared to text or videobased content. Here's a scenario: Robert is excited and
apprehensive about his meeting today. It is a final phase pitch
to the customer, and the deal could make a substantial dent
in his quarterly targets. In the morning, he received an email
from Tina.
"Hey Robert,
All the best for your pitch today. I have collated a document set to
enhance your pitch containing comparisons with our competitors,
a video nugget on our USPs and a short write-up on the client. I
hope they will help you.
Cheers, Tina"
The meeting went well. The customer asked about the
infrastructure peripheral costs which Robert was not fully
prepared for. Thankfully he could connect with Tina over
chat. She supplied him with the relevant documents as well
as connected him to an expert within the organization over
a conference call.
Tina is an AI Virtual Mentor for the 1000+ strong workforce
of Robert's organization. She is an extension of a system that
integrates with the CRM, HR and KMS systems to gather data
for its users. The scenario isn't futuristic. NLP (Natural Language
Processing) and machine learning are commonplace and
available as a service. Rule-based engines and data analytics
have been around for ages. The next generation of LMS would
bring these together for a learning experience that is intuitive
and enjoyable. And that future can be now.

These emerging learning delivery methods are helping
us get closer to the ideal learning experience for target
audiences to meet business and performance objectives.
The ability to create learning that is more physically and
mentally immersive, or with more connection to the work
environment, or more personalized, means we can keep
their attention more fully, offer learning solutions that
are more aligned with real-world work experience, and
address each learner's specific needs.
The next level we're envisioning is these learning methods
working in concert. Mixed reality (VR and AR) is already
in its infancy. And imagine a VR experience with AI in
which the characters you interact with in the virtual world
monitor what you're saying and your body language,
and respond appropriately, giving you coaching in the
moment. This opens up great possibilities for teaching
topics that are challenging in standard e-learning - such
as empathy - with subtlety and consistency.

Augmented reality is evolving. Next generation technologies
(known as AR 2.0) use depth-mapping techniques to scan real
environments such as a car engine, a color printer, or even a
patient in intensive care. This provides a 3D reference model
that native AR software in your smartphone or tablet can
use to overlay additional digital information. The result: an
immersive experience that provides enhanced information
about the environment you are actually standing in.
Just imagine standing on the site of Ground Zero, or the Berlin
Wall, or a London Street, and being able to overlay historic
images and information on the scene you are looking at. Or,
open the hood of your car and watch a step-by-step guide
on how to change the oil, overlaid on your engine. Or, walk
around a patient and view the skeleton, muscles and organs.
These technologies are currently being incorporated,
as standard, in next-generation smartphones, and the
applications, described above, already exist. Imagine where
you could take AR 2.0.

The influence of emerging delivery technology in the
corporate learning space will ultimately depend on a few
factors. First, the form and shape of learning will continue to
largely depend on its acceptance and adoption by the class
of rising learners. Regardless of method, organizations will
continue to demand bottom line results and have a frontline
role in the provision of time, monies and infrastructure for
these efforts. That said, the biggest risk/reward factor is not the
technology or its ability to add value to the user experience,
but rather the extent to which learning professionals continue
to understand, design, and stress the importance of learning
systems, which make the most effective use of the new media
to accomplish business, performance and learning objectives.
Now more than ever, with so many avenues available for
deployment, there is a critical need for learning analysis and
design. That effort will make all the difference between fun or
engaging, and truly effective.
