    How We Learn - with Stella Collins

    How We Learn - with Stella Collins

    Lucinda is joined by Stella Collins, co-founder and chief learning officer of Stella Labs. They discuss the intersection of neuroscience and AI in the field of learning and development. Stella shares insights on how understanding how the brain learns can improve the effectiveness of learning initiatives.

    She emphasises the importance of motivation, practice, reflection, and spaced repetition in the learning process. Stella also highlights the role of AI in creating personalised learning journeys, providing support and feedback, and tracking progress

    KEY TAKEAWAYS


    Understanding how learning works is crucial for both learners and learning professionals. It involves recognsing the need for learning, staying motivated throughout the learning process, receiving guidance and support, practicing and experimenting with new knowledge or skills, and applying them in real-world situations.
    Neuroscience provides insights into how the brain learns and changes. It highlights the neuroplasticity of the brain, its energy requirements, and the importance of sleep in consolidating learning.
    AI can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of learning. It can help create content, suggest behaviours, personalise learning journeys, provide automated feedback and support, track progress, and generate relevant activities for learners.
    Gamification can be a useful tool in learning, but it should be optional and tailored to individual preferences. It can enhance motivation and engagement, but it is not necessary for effective learning.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "AI can help you be highly efficient at producing rubbish. So you do need to think about what's the effectiveness we're looking at, what are we actually trying to achieve?"

    "If you're a line manager who perhaps hasn't had a coaching skill or hasn't been trained on coaching, if you're given a checklist, all those stuff, here's some good questions to ask."

    "Learning just isn't magic. You can't onboard people faster than their brains can actually process stuff."

    "Good learning doesn't need gamification. Good gamification can sometimes help with learning."

Enlightening and informative

This podcast is so different to other HR podcasts. Whatever the topic, it always has a strategic and forward thinking approach and makes me think outside of the box. Every episode is worth a listen!

Covers a wide range of HR topics in a very listenable format

As someone new to HR and HR Tech specifically, this has been a really useful series to get up to speed with the entire industry. While I know I’m not fully absorbing everything with a first listen, knowing there’s something I can go back to and listen in more detail when the topic comes up at work is super helpful! Here’s hoping you continue the series, as I feel our entire industry is going to expand dramatically over the next couple of years.
