WEBINAR: How to Build a Culture of Curiosity

Join us Nov. 8 at 3p IST for this webinar led by Abhijit Bhaduri, acclaimed author, and Becky Willis, VP of Enterprise Engagement at EdCast to delve into how to create a culture of curiosity for your organization.

According to the World Economic Forum, five years from now, over one-third of skills (35%) that are considered important in today’s workforce will have changed. Advanced robotics and autonomous transport, artificial intelligence and machine learning, advanced materials, biotechnology and genomics are some of the rapidly converging forces of tech that will shape organizations and business models. What skills will matter for someone to stay ahead of the workforce?

Complex Problem Solving, Critical Thinking and Creativity are the top three skills needed in the workplace by 2020. That makes sense too. Anything that is programmable can be done better faster and cheaper by robots. AI makes it possible to sift through mountains of data and find a match based on criteria. Humans will have to stay curious to stay ahead of the machines. What can organizations do to build a culture of curiosity? Why does curiosity matter even more? What can the individual do to be curious and stay curious?

Register for this exceptional webinar to discuss these concepts in more detail.

WEBINAR: Smarter Than LMS – How AI Measurably Improves Learning Experience and Impact

Traditional LMSs aren’t known for elegant user experience design. That’s because they were developed as administrative tools to support mandated workplace compliance training.

But today’s learners expect more. They want instant, on-demand access to relevant instruction, guidance, expertise and resources — ideally delivered in quick videos or other bursts of useful information. They want to manage their own learning as a lifelong process that fits their unique professional and personal interests.

How can training departments address these demands? They can’t. But that’s where artificial intelligence can make a meaningful difference.

The EdCast team and John Leh of Talented Learning will team-up to share key trends and case studies that illustrate the power of combining AI with an LMS. You’ll discover:

• How AI is transforming organizational learning
• What you can do to create a “smarter” employee learning experience
• The role AI plays in complementing (not replacing) learning platforms
• How to predict and measure AI’s impact in the learning experience
• Real-world examples of successful AI-enhanced learning initiatives

Join us to find out how AI can help you provide learning that is more personal, memorable and valuable for participants, as well as your organization.

WEBINAR – Scale Up Your Learning Efforts With Live Collaborative Streaming Video

For many years our industry has functioned under this premise, “We know that 1:1 training is the most effective method to learn/teach, but that doesn’t scale”. We created elaborate self-paced instructional courses that allowed anyone with a connection and the right computer equipment the ability to learn from an expert. And that worked. For about a decade. The eLearning course solution has been failing companies for many years now. It’s time for something new.

• Date and Time: Wed, Oct 25, 2017 at 12PM Pacific / 3PM Eastern
• Duration: 1 hour
• Cost: $0 (Free)

Live streaming video is not necessarily new. However, the ability for anyone with a connected device to live stream video is. Live streaming video offers immediate, real time, instruction as well as feedback. It’s the one solution that can truly scale up the efforts of subject matter experts and help training departments deliver learning solutions at the speed of business.

We will talk about several use cases of live streaming video. The technology will be demonstrated from mobile devices and desktop clients. And we will cover the many possibilities of 1:1 training, 1: many training, a community approach to learning, and other solutions that add business value your company leaders will love.

Join Brent Schlenker, Director Enterprise Solutions at EdCast, in this lively conversation as we explore the future of live collaborative streaming video.

• Why did live video streaming become possible so fast?
• How mobile Live streaming enhances Sales Enablement/onboarding
• How mobile Coaching integrates into Management/Leadership programs
• Learn about the difference between Live streaming and Webinars
• What skills are needed to create effective live streaming videos?
• What use cases are best suited for live streaming video as a learning solution

WEBINAR – How AI is Revolutionizing Personalized Learning in the Workplace

You are invited to join us September 27 at 10a PT / 1p ET for an exciting webinar led by Jeanne Meister, Founding Partner at Future Workplace, and Becky Willis, Vice President of Enterprise Engagement at EdCast.

We are drowning in content. Information is more readily available than ever, but it can be overwhelming. According to research conducted by Bersin by Deloitte, employees spend only 1% of their time on development and training during the average work week.

How can employees find the content they need to be more productive and successful? In this webinar, we will discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed to solve the problems of personalized learning and unified content discovery by helping sift through vast quantities of materials to make available the more relevant content at the right time for employees’ specific needs.
