Learning technology is constantly changing, and keeping up with all the changes is almost a full-time job. We spoke with attendees at DevLearn 2024 about their takeaways from the event, and they were amazed at the amount of technology on the market today and what it can do.
Embrace technology at your organization
Attendees were wowed by the scope of technology that exists today and how much of it they were unaware of before the event. One attendee even said, “There’s a lot that I don’t know and a lot that I can know.”
Another attendee encouraged organizations to embrace this new technology and incorporate it into training without fear. “That’s where we are right now in this industry,” the attendee stated as evidence that more companies need to be using the latest innovative technology in their learning.
How attendees are embracing technology
While there are plenty of examples of how DevLearn attendees are using technology, here are a few that we heard from the attendees we interviewed:
- One attendee we spoke to was in the early stages of developing a Learning Management System (LMS) and was looking to vet out a system and choose the correct one for corporate strategy. Aligning learning technology with business goals, as this attendee did, is always key to gaining stakeholder buy-in for purchasing a new technology.
- Another was looking to make Storyline courses more interactive. This attendee was on the right track, as making courses more interactive helps with learner engagement and retention.
- The final attendee we talked to was exploring how to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into current workflows to optimize current tasks. There were a lot more attendees using AI as well, and this article has the details on how they’re leveraging it.
We hope that you’ll take our attendees’ advice to heart and brainstorm how your organization can embrace technology this year. See the full interview:
