Learned-centred education: OpenLearning pioneers new ground

Share on:

In an age when digital platforms have revolutionized our way of life—from the way we shop and travel to how we do sports, socialize, and stay informed—it has become normal to expect an unparalleled user experience.

Today, we live in a world where customization has changed the rules of engagement, where on-demand content is the norm, chosen and consumed however we like, whenever we like, in every aspect of life.

In this framework, user experience has reached astonishing heights, wiping out the differences between simple access to information and true learning experience.

And yet, when it comes to corporate education, the contrast is stark. On the one hand there is the modern consumer, accustomed to finding intuitive interfaces and engaging digital experiences. On the other, there is the often archaic panorama of corporate education, anchored to conventional learning management systems (LMSs), Excel reporting templates, and a user experience that leaves a lot to be desired—resulting in low engagement and satisfaction levels.

Research by MIT,

however, speaks loud and clear: Prioritizing employee experience is not just possible, but brings tangible benefits for the business. Focusing on employee experience in training can go so far as to double customer satisfaction and directly generate extra profits of up to 25%.

Faced with the evidence, it is imperative for businesses to review and rethink their HR training strategies. The objective is not just to meet the expectations of modern learners, but take a radical new approach to training, to transform learning into an engaging and personalized experience, such as to rival the best consumer platforms. The challenge this poses is clear. How can the innovation and engagement levels of daily digital experience be transferred to corporate education? The answer to that question promises not only to raise the standard of corporate learning, but unlock new heights of success for business organizations.

OpenLearning: New frontiers in education

In this framework, at Digit’Ed we have chosen a pioneering new course, revolutionizing the traditional standards of corporate education.

OpenLearning marks a watershed in training, forging an open, next-generation learning system that demolishes the limits imposed by conventional learning management systems (LMSs).

OpenLearning is a mission guided by the firm belief that learning and teaching can benefit in a major way from a more open and integrated approach, one built on three key pillars—a personalized learning experience, the adoption of innovative solutions, and big data analysis.

A Custom-Fit Learning Experience

The personalization of the education experience plays a central role in OpenLearning. Our platform is designed to guarantee dynamic interaction and participation through the incorporation of the tools and features typical of the most advanced consumer platforms. Personalized dashboards, chatbots, discussion forums, learner rankings, and awards in the form of badges all help create a stimulating and deeply engaging learning environment that reflects and respects the idiosyncrasies and preferences of each individual user.

An Innovative Core of Artificial Intelligence

OpenLearning lives and thrives off artificial intelligence (AI), which plays a driving role in creating and personalizing unique training programs.

This advanced technology enables training proposals to be made in line with the specific needs shown by learners, their managers, and the HR department, ensuring a tailored, custom-fit learning experience that goes far beyond standardized education packages.

Innovation is also witnessed in the continuum of formats and methods for delivering content, ranging from asynchronous sessions and live webinars to external resources such as videos and ebooks, all equally traceable and assessable.

In addition, a digital learning assistant helps users request and obtain detailed and contextual information on specific topics of interest, building on an accurate analysis of the learning content available. Leveraging an extensive data warehouse with natural language query capability, the system simulates interaction with an expert colleague, making learning not only more accessible, but also extremely focused.

Data at the Service of Knowledge

One of the greatest strengths of OpenLearning lies in its capacity to leverage the wide-ranging data gathered to provide contextualized, insightful support for HR. Thanks to a dedicated data warehouse, HR officers can monitor progress through dynamic dashboards and set reports and query the database using natural language.

Our ambition at Digit’Ed is to usher in a new era of corporate education, underpinned by greater openness, personalization, and innovation.

OpenLearning is more than an education platform—it is an invitation to entirely rethink learning and training approaches in contemporary business organizations.
