Peter Gillis is the Innovation Services Lead in Learnovate. Peter is currently developing his research on motivation and learning through the PhD programme at Trinity College Dublin. In this episode he shares insights from his research into learner motivation including self-determination theory, motivation and amotivation, nudging behaviour . and much more besides.
The latest meeting of Learnovate’s Thought Leaders Circle kicked off with a ‘fireside chat’ between Nigel Paine (the current chair of the Thought Leaders Circle) and Bob Mosher from Apply Synergies around the topic of ‘The Art of Being Skilful’. Nigel and Bob are hugely respected figures in the world of L&D – Nigel has written extensively on the subject of Workplace Learning, while Bob has pioneered the ‘5 Moments of Need’ approach to learning design.
The recent ADVANCE 2023 forum organised by ADAPT, a Science Foundation Ireland-funded research centre, took a deep dive into Generative AI. The half-day, in-person event (held in Trinity College Dublin on June 7th) was aimed at anyone involved in or interested by AI research and innovation. It featured an impressive list of speakers and very much took an ‘under the hood’ look at AI and Generative AI in particular.
On 18th & 19th June Learnovate researchers Janet Benson & Ilse White, as well as Snr. Business Development Manager Linda Waters attended the EDEN (European Distance and E-learning Network Conference) held this year in St. Patrick’s Campus, DCU.
In this session we will look at some of the key research completed by the Learnovate team and discuss some of the potential solutions to address the issues. We will also examine the potential effect the latest developments in AI might have on learner engagement as well as motivation. We want you, the audience to share your own theories and predictions in this space and help drive the conversation.
