55 tools in one go and deliver them to 1,000 people at scale.” There has also been a significant shift in the learning experience. “It used to be all about the successful completion of an expected outcome,” says Lamb. “In this new world of AI, it’s more like a sandbox with some guide rails for the learner to play around and experience how to create something. “Rather than define learning in procedures or score labs in challenges, we now get openended practice with these tools. We use things like visual scoring to interpret the user’s actions and determine if the users’ progress meets a more flexible set of requirements.” This type of learning is especially significant in the modern world, where more traditional methods such as simulations, videos and documents have become less relevant. “People in today’s world need access to real data, models and software for experimentation, and the only way you can do that is with hands-on learning,” explains Hynes. This philosophy is influencing how Skillable plans to achieve its goal of redefining how people work. “We are laser-focused on evolving the concept of a lab so that as technology evolves, we’re able to support and define it,” says Hynes. “The simple truth is that as we move forward and AI becomes more interactive, the entire learner-led learning model is going to change. “We’re focused on examining how we can evolve instructional design and software deployment, and how we can expand what we do to meet the future needs of learners.” “ We are laser-focused on evolving what a lab is” COREY HYNES Photo: Adobe Stock/shock
