372 — AI Conversations is changing how we practice power skills
Historically, if you wanted to get better at having difficulty conversations, you had to take part in embarrassing roleplays or actual high-stakes conversations. Now, thanks to generative AI tools like ChatGPT, we can practice in a safe environment with realistic responses and in-the-moment feedback. That’s the premise for ‘AI Conversations’, a new digital learning offering from Mind Tools and Learning Pool. In this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner and Nahdia Khan are joined by Learning Pool’s Lindsey Coode to discuss: · How AI Conversations works · The role and importance of feedback in developing skills · The measurable impact on user capability after just one practice session. During the discussion, Ross referenced the following paper: Deslauriers, L., McCarty, L. S., Miller, K., Callaghan, K., & Kestin, G. (2019). Measuring actual learning versus feeling of learning in response to being actively engaged in the classroom. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116(39), 19251-19257. Nahdia referenced the World Economic Forum’s report ‘Jobs of Tomorrow’. In ‘What I Learned this Week’, Nahdia discussed HuddleCraft. Ross discussed ‘The False Binary in Higher Ed’ from Ben Wildavsky.
