29. The web moving this way
Amazon and Google are highly
personalised based on your behaviour
Amazon knows what sites you visited, what
you looked at, prices you were
offered, where your mouse hovered.....

30. Learning Sites
We track and record
learning, mostly so we can report
on activity, progress, and
completion
Commercial Sites
Track activity so can change what
is provided to us on the next visit
eg adverts, offers, content

Danger Informal Learning Becomes
Chaotic
How can we guide learners?
Provide resources not
courses.
Curate content.

42. Content Authority - Authorship
Google concerned
with the author and
their authority in the
topic, now tracks
authors and displays
them.

43. Content Authority - Social Signals
Number of shares
signals how
valuable content is.

Predicts what you want....

53. 53

54. Google Now
Provides what you need before you
ask for it:
- Weather
- Travel, traffic
- Company information
- People information

55. If Google was building
an LMS....
Provide what you need before you ask for it
Instantly available on all devices
Voice search
Personalised results
Guide you to resources based on author authority & social
signals
Content seamlessly works across all devices
Content itself be immersive, adapt to your needs
Assess and recognise learning wherever it takes place

56. In Summary
The future is not what it was...

57. What can you do?
1. Establish a culture of pervasive learning
Curate, cultivate , celebrate – don’t control
2. Increase empathy in your learning experiences
Show people you care – diagnostic, support, manager follow through
3. Let Google lead – but don’t fall too far behind
How can you personalise results in your LMS and systems?
Can you offer meaningful suggestions to learners?

58. What can you do?
4. Improve systems, reduce their cost technology
Open source / authoring tools
Spend on distribution as well as content (and it’s cheap)
5. Make it personal
Starts with how we engage and reach
Tailor message to channel and audience

59. What can you do?
6. Make assessment an experience not an event
Think beyond the test, continuous and multi-channel
Social participation as assessment?
7. Follow the money and prove the value
ROI still key but include Google Analytics in your measure too
8. Empathise with and enable your line managers
They are your empathy agents – are they looked after?

60. What can you do?
9. Be a consultant
It’s up to us to drive change - one project at a time
“We need to make from taking orders for more of the same to
saying let’s do it differently”
10. Become an authority
“Design and delivery is a commodity, expertise is a differentiator”
Show your expertise – share inside and outside via Social Media
Be relentless – be pervasive
