How Learning Platforms and Evolving with AI

Key Takeaways from Fosway Groups 2024 Research

FUTURE

As the world of corporate learning evolves, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a cornerstone for Learning & Development (L&D) strategies.
A report from the Fosway Group on Digital Learning Realities 2024 sheds light on how AI is transforming learning platforms and what this means for the future of workplace learning solutions.

At vLearning Solutions we are always keen to integrate these insights into the development of our learning platform, ensuring that our clients are equipped with the best tools for organising and enhancing learning resources. When it comes to AI, we treat it like all other technological development, with both enthusiasm and caution. As such, we work closely with our clients to ensure that platform suits their needs effectively.

AI's Growing Impact on Learning Efficiency

According to the Fosway Group’s findings, 64% of organisations are adopting AI to improve learning efficiency. By accelerating the pace at which learners absorb and apply knowledge, AI-driven platforms offer quicker results and greater retention. These tools allow learning teams to better manage and optimise the speed of training, freeing up time for more complex learning objectives.

Enhancing Learning Effectiveness with AI

AI doesn’t just make learning faster; it makes it deeper. Fosway’s research indicates that 63% of companies use AI to improve the effectiveness of their learning programmes. This involves leveraging AI to personalise content, guiding learners through more meaningful educational experiences. This focus on enhancing the “depth” of learning ensures that employees are not just absorbing information but mastering it.

AI in Learning Platforms (LP, LMS & LXP)

While many companies are implementing AI to optimise their Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Experience Platforms (LXP), Fosway’s report suggests that current systems aren’t yet meeting L&D teams’ expectations. Over 70% of respondents noted that their LMS or LXP failed to meet AI expectations.

The Role of Copilots in Disrupting Learning Experiences

One of the most exciting insights from Fosway’s 2024 report is the rise of AI copilots in learning. Tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot are already transforming the way learners access and engage with content. These AI copilots, as Fosway’s report outlines, have the potential to revolutionise how employees interact with learning platforms by offering real-time suggestions, automating tasks, and simplifying complex processes.

Looking Ahead: AI in 2025 and Beyond

While scepticism about AI’s effectiveness remains, expectations for its impact are still high. Fosway’s report shows that over half of L&D professionals expect AI to significantly impact their learning functions by 2025.

Conclusion

The Fosway Group’s Digital Learning Realities 2024 report highlights the ever-increasing role of AI in shaping the future of learning platforms. From boosting efficiency and effectiveness to introducing disruptive technologies like AI copilots, it’s clear that learning platforms are on the cusp of a major transformation.

At vLearning Solutions we are always excited to take on board new research and use it to inform the development of our learning platform. We continually work with our clients to ensure that they receive cutting-edge solutions that meet the needs of learners both today and tomorrow.
