Episode description

In the past, if you had difficulty thriving in a traditional school, your parents travelled a lot, or you were a child actor, you had the option to study online. Post-Covid, that approach is growing in popularity.

On this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross and Nahdia are joined by Cambridge Assessment's Matt James to hear his insights into online education. We discuss:

  • Techniques for engaging children in online learning

  • Building social connection and managing wellbeing online

  • How lessons from online schools apply to workplace learning.

In 'What I Learnt This Week', Ross discussed the impact that an AI assistant had on the performance of customer service reps: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2023/05/02/1172791281/this-company-adopted-ai-heres-what-happened-to-its-human-workers
