306 Creating True Just-in-time Training Reuben Tozman, edCetra Training Creating True Just-In-Time Training Reuben Tozman Chief Learning Officer edCetra Training First Some Humor! Google Opt Out What is our challenge? “And whereas doctors a century ago were expected to keep up with the entire field of medicine, now they would need to be familiar with about 10,000 diseases, 3,000 drugs and more than 1,000 lab tests” “A study in 2004 suggested that in epidemiology alone it would take 21 hours of a workday just to stay current.” “When the Sloan Digital Sky Survey started work in 2000, its telescope in New Mexico collected more data in its first few weeks than had been amassed in the entire history of astronomy” What is our challenge? How are we ever going to train and teach knowledge, competencies and skills given the tools we have today? How long did it take to create your last eLearning course? How long did it take to update? How much has changed since you’ve developed it? How has technology evolved to help us? Brief History Instructor-led classroom based training (The talking head) Self paced (Early distance education) Video/DVD based training (Self paced or Instructor led) Computer Based Training (Self Paced) Internet Based Training (Self paced or instructor led) eLearning 2.0 (Current frenzy) Semantic Web (Future) Brief History Access to SME Incorporate Multimedia Power of Networking Semantic Web Technology Learner Control Engaging the Learner Where are we now? What’s Hot? •eLearning 2.0 •Informal learning •Social networking as a learning vehicle •Communities of practice •mLearning •Twitter •Etc… Where are we now? “MIT researchers have discovered how to use nanotechnology to significantly shrink computer chips, making them cheaper and more powerful. The new technique will enable manufacturers to produce 25-nanometer (one millionth of a millimeter) chips, which is a huge leap considering that late last year, Intel Corp. made its first move from a 65nm process to 45nm. Intel has already said it hopes to move to 32nm processors sometime in 2009; a 25nm chip would be one level below that.” Where are we now? Ability of small machines to resolve processing in real time. Where are we now? Using the web to “network” A computer’s power/value as a standalone machine has long reached its peak Value of a computer is in its ability to network Economy based on feeding the web •Paradigm of scarcity is “old school” •What is the value of Twitter if you’re the only one that’s using it? Where are we going? OpenCyc or Cyc (syke) Cyc is an artificial intelligence project that attempts to assemble a comprehensive ontology and knowledge base of everyday common sense knowledge, with the goal of enabling AI applications to perform humanlike reasoning. Where are we going? OpenCyc or Cyc (syke) Typical pieces of knowledge represented in the database are "Every tree is a plant" and "Plants die eventually". When asked whether trees die, the inference engine can draw the obvious conclusion and answer the question correctly. Where are we going? Creating an Intelligent Web (12.42) Autology (0.30) Intel Handheld Unit Project Natal Real-time content aggregation Connecting to objects Library of Congress Thousands of American school teachers incorporate LOC media objects into their curriculum LOC has curriculum designs for teachers that use the media objects Task: Create a system that enabled teachers to create their own curriculum and learning materials DEMO http://www.loc.gov/teachers Creating True Just-In-Time Training Technology will allow us to move from a packaged ‘event’ to real time, on the job performance support. •Including advances in networking to find subject matter expertise Use advances in web technology to provide context sensitive instruction •Interweaving of training into the work environment Publishing on demand(9:00 – 9:30) Knowledge Management For the system to work, knowledge and content management are critical Not only do we have to extract knowledge from the minds of experts but we need to create a system to classify and contextualize that knowledge Thank You Contact Information: Reuben Tozman Chief Learning Officer, edCetra Training [email protected]
