John Helmer talks to Jane Hart, Founder of the Centre for Learning
& Performance Technologies (C4LPT), whose Top Tools for Learning
list, now in its 12th year, rates the popularity of various
technology tools under categories of personal learning, workplace
learning and education.
The list has consistently highlighted the importance of generic
tools such as PowerPoint, Slack and YouTube for learning online,
and how big a part informal learning plays in complementing
course-based materials. As such it paints a very different picture
of the world from that purveyed by learntech vendors and
analysts.
John asks what this year's list shows in terms of long-term trends,
as well as, inevitably, the effect of the pandemic on how people
are learning.
01:31 What does the list say about learners' response to
Covid-19?
05:08 The 'sub-lists': personal learning, workplace learning
and education
09:20 Is learning too 'fuzzy' a word?
14:31 Why do learntech vendors score so low in the
lists?
20:18 Can some of learning not be productized?
26:51 How to balance self-directed learning with the needs of
the business
29:14 The biggest problem facing L&D today?
32:04 What is Jane most excited about for the future?
