In this webinar, we'll explore the art and science of crafting effective AI prompts, laying the foundation for more complex applications. You’ll learn to develop a diverse and robust prompt library, a crucial resource for streamlining AI interactions and enhancing learning outcomes. As we progress, discover the transformative power of automation in L&D – transforming your workflows and increasing productivity.

As your automations mature, we'll investigate the integration of autonomous agents. These advanced AI agents promise a future where learning is anticipatory, adapting to learners' needs in real-time. By understanding these evolutionary stages – from simple prompts to autonomous AI agents – you’ll be equipped to lead the charge in implementing next-gen AI strategies in your L&D initiatives.

Writing is the main way you communicate with the people you provide training for. Course descriptions should inspire people to sign up. Clear learning outcomes show people what to expect from training. Helpful emails make logistics a breeze.

Did you know that by far the best way to write effectively at work is by focusing on what your readers need? Plain language is the international discipline that describes a reader-focused writing style.

Colleen Trolove helps people revolutionise their writing with plain language. If you're sick of low course take-up, endless questions about whether a course is right for people, and late - or no - responses to your emails, come along. This talk could transform your world.

Competency Framework: L&D Practice, On the job Training, Assessment, eLearning.

Speaker:

Colleen Trolove

Colleen has been a trainer, coach, writer, and editor in plain language for the last 15 years. With Miraka Davies, she co-owns the online School of unProfessional Writing.

She has read well over 10,000 pieces of writing from workshop participants over the years. This bird’s eye view of New Zealanders’ work-related writing confirms that simple, clear communication is by far the best the way to go.

Colleen can run 22 different workshops, from presentation skills to critical thinking to writing for lawyers.

She’s judged the USA ClearMark Awards, the USA Federal Report Card, the New Zealand Science Communicator Awards, and she’s helped jazz up the WriteMark New Zealand Plain Language Awards by singing at four of the awards ceremonies!

Writing great scenarios is no longer something that Learning Designers are 'good at' or 'not good at'. For those of us who don't see ourselves as gifted writers, the good news is that AI can help - as long as you use it wisely. This will be a hands-on session, where people can follow along on their own devices, and we'll demonstrate ways to use AI tools to craft great interactive scenarios. We'll co-create some scenarios together, and provide participants with guidelines to take away.

This session focuses on integrating Māori pedagogical methods—ako (reciprocal learning) and tuakana-teina (mentor-mentee)—into professional development settings. Themes include collaboration, cultural inclusivity, and mentorship, aimed at fostering environments that support and empower Māori learners.

The purpose of this session is to provide educators working with adults in professional development contexts with practical tools and strategies for creating culturally responsive learning environments. By applying Māori teaching methods, educators can enhance learner engagement, build collaborative relationships, and improve knowledge retention, particularly for Māori learners.

Outcomes:

• Understanding Māori Pedagogy: Participants will gain a clear understanding of ako and tuakana-teina and how these methods can be applied to adult learning environments.

• Practical Application: Participants will leave with actionable strategies for incorporating reciprocal learning and mentorship into their training programs.

• Empowerment of Māori Learners: Educators will learn how to create more inclusive learning environments that honor and elevate Māori cultural strengths, leading to better outcomes for Māori learners in professional settings.

This session is designed to inspire and equip educators to make their professional development programs more culturally responsive.
