In our class, we were instructed to research emerging technologies that we could incorporate to address the business gap identified in the first assignment. On my part, I was able to find vendors or solutions providers that offer Learning Management Systems (LMS) with the incorporation of emerging technologies:


Artificial Intelligence (AI)

·      AI driven systems or software have the ability to analyze user data in order to design and tailor customized learning paths for individuals. That way employees, at Mustard Seed can easily access LMS materials tailored to their job roles, skill levels and preferred learning approaches.

 

Cloud-based learning Platforms

·        Cloud based education platforms empower companies to educate staff in subjects conveniently, across multiple locations like The Mustard Seeds sites in Canada. Having locations makes it challenging to implement a training program for employees which is further complicated by the use of physical training spaces. With technology in place now employees can effortlessly reach training resources from using any device. Moreover cloud based solutions facilitate access to up to date training content ensuring employees are well informed on the regulatory policies essential, for compliance.

Mobile Learning (mLearning), Gamification

·        Mobile learning or mLearning is a technology that continues to grow and improve with the advancement of tech mobile devices, on the scene. The convenience of being able to access training materials through smartphones or tablets via an application provided by Learning Management System providers is a significant benefit. Mobile apps have the capability to share file formats like bite modules and podcasts, for educational purposes. Additionally, gamification is often incorporated by LMS providers to enhance engagement in their applications. Learning becomes more captivating when incorporating elements of gaming such, as leaderboards and badges along with point systems for added motivation and excitement in the process of enhancing engagement and retention, among employees by engaging them in role playing activities simulations and training quizzes.

    You make some solid points about using emerging technologies in Learning Management Systems (LMS) to address training challenges. The idea of mobile learning and gamification is interesting because it makes learning more accessible and fun. But I think it’s worth exploring whether all types of training translate well to these formats, or if there might be some limitations in keeping complex or highly technical subjects engaging through gamified elements. It would be great to hear your thoughts on balancing these innovative approaches with practical implementation challenges.

To continue my post last week regarding the advancement of emerging technologies. I learned in this course that there are many emerging tech that is already out there aside from AI, gamification, blockchain and what not. But have you ever wondered why some of this tech is not progressing or even used by us? Here's what I realized. There are many factors that makes emerging technologies challenging to predict considering the vast possibilities, continuous innovations, and complex influences that affects the growth (or regression) of a new technology or breakthrough. The success of an emerging technology heavily relies on the complexity of the technology itself, the consumer behavior and user acceptance, and the rapid pace of innovation that often outstrips the society’s understanding and integration capabilities. We have seen many breakthroughs attempts and innovations throughout the years but not every development has been accepted by the society or supported by the industry as the...

 Last week in the Emerging Technologies class, we designed an evaluation tool to test and measure possible emerging technologies and their ability to close the identified business gap we came up with during the first week of the course. In my case, the identified business gap is an organization's lack of a Learning Management System. The organization needs a centralized learning platform for its employees despite having an identified list of training required for each worker/staff. They only have a list of identified training requirements per staff (depending on their role). Still, there needs to be a tool that provides a platform hosting all appropriate training materials and resources that the employees can easily access. Having a centralized learning management system (LMS) would be ideal to ensure that every employee has completed their required training materials, and it would be easier to track and report the training completion rates and training performance of the employees...
