Employees with strong cognitive ability are a competitive advantage to an organisation - particularly when they are in
roles that require quick learning, first-time problem solving, thinking ‘on your feet’ and dealing with ambiguity. People who
score well on cognitive ability tests are more likely to develop a greater knowledge of the job more quickly, make effective
decisions and successfully reason and strategise to solve problems. In fact, a landmark study reviewed 85 years of research and found that higher cognitive ability is linked with higher productivity and performance.

Digitalization is changing the way we work and learn. However, digital learning projects often fail, as shown in low learner engagement and low completion rates.
Digital learning needs certain framework conditions! Based on a variety of projects with different organizations we have identified several variables that determine the success of a learning project.

Global Trends in Organisational Learning & Developments 2014eUniversity
Globally oranisations are increasingly finding out that, traditional learning departments are often inefficient and expensive.
Research shows that only about one third of the total training spent goes into actual learning delivery, the rest is often spent on administrative and other indirect costs.
Initially organisations adopted web based learning because of its cost effectiveness & efficiency. However over time these companies realized that eLearning is not only more efficient, it make learning outcome more effective.
Learners can now complete the training at their own time, pace & place.
Learning & Development: A Prescriptive Vision for Accelerating Business SuccessCognizant
Corporate learning is increasingly critical to business, but traditional approaches are inefficient, overly rigid, fragmented and unconnected from employees' daily work - and thus ripe for transformation - as recent research reveals.
The training industry, like society itself and the world of IT, is undergoing far-reaching changes. Deeply impacted by digital technology, social networks and changes in socio-cultural practices, it is trying to adapt. This transformation inevitably raises questions about how effective new methods such as MOOCs, serious games, mobile learning, etc., are when it comes to learning, and the potential risks they create.
In a broader context, does innovation in training necessarily involve technological resources? This is one of the seven questions that are the focus of training professionals’ attention today.
Since its inception in 1926, the Cegos Group has weathered a variety of socio-technological upheavals and always managed to adapt its training practices in step with changing habits.
We have therefore tried to provide concrete answers to these questions, based not only on the most respected research and our experience in the field, but also on our values and our vision.
How organisational learning needs to change to meet today's challengesInfor CERTPOINT
How Speed and Technology Change Everything.
In the recent past, training was a process almost disconnected from the daily operations of the rest of the organisation. Sometimes this gap was literal - training was often confined to a separate building.
At the same time, however, training's value was seldom questioned. It was understood to have a positive, if usually unmeasured, effect. The role of training was 'building capability' - giving employees 'just-in-case' knowledge and skills for use at some point in the future
In this Article CERTPOINT CEO Ara Ohanian outlines three key ways L&D departments must change to stay relevant.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Situation
To meet the training and

Global readiness - Mark Beresford
Situation
Globalization is possibly the hot-
test word in business today. And
yet, does anyone really know what
is involved in going global? And if
your company has decided to be-
come a global player, do you really
have what it takes to compete on
the global stage?
The answer is probably “NO.” In
fact, most mid-sized companies
are completely unprepared to
pursue a globalization strategy.
Global readiness is not just about
having the right products, services,
or go-to-market plan. You also
