  • Robert Plant and the Art of Active Learning

    Robert Plant and the Art of Active Learning
    Mar 3 2025

    Here’s a bit of working out loud and sharing an experiment. It’s an example of an AI podcast. We’re so interested in your thoughts – especially if you’re in #L&D.

    Quick background – why? Conversations ‘outside of the classroom’ are what we’re often aiming for in our learning design i.e. design the learning to drive conversations – to be the catalyst. This got us thinking to bake in conversations within elearning too – i.e. listen in to others talking – when we have no means to drive active group chats in more blended or facilitated solutions.

    In short, we’ve been encouraging podcasts for a while – using podcast style interviews and chats within training to explore topics in a really human way.

    It takes a fair bit of organising, editing etc. AI voices as an option came up recently. But is it too cheese? Uncanny valley? Too ‘scripted’. Just a waste of time? Or engaging? We’re not sure.

    So we created the one here to play with the idea. It’s short (about 4.5mins). It’s not on a topic for training as such, just a chat about a Robert Plant gig our Creative Director wrote a blog about a few years back. We thought:

    • What if we pointed generative AI at the blog (topic)?
    • What if we prime two characters and got them talking about it?
    • What if we said, “talk about it in a podcast format and see if you think there’s a link to the AGES learning model”.
    • Would it be engaging? Helpful?

    Have a listen. What are your thoughts on it. Weird? Wonderful? Could short conversations like these be useful to talk on other topics i.e. as icebreakers or segues within elearning, but where the topic is about the training etc? Anything else?

    James Bevelander, talking creative, video, fresh take on compliance and much more
    Aug 17 2019

    James Bevelander, Group Digital Learning Manager for the Cotton On Group, joins The Learning Hook Podcast for a chat on a wide range of topics. This episode’s highly relevant for retail learning and development professionals, learning designers creating video (from scripts to shoots), L&D for large global organisations, and of course general elearning aficionados wherever you may be 😊.

    Snapshot below

    • James’s story: From Flash Developer to Group Digital Learning Manager for the Cotton On Group
    • Hear about a different take on compliance (imagine it being driven by team leads/store managers and delivered ‘just in time’)
    • Tone of voice, style and engagement for global audiences
    • Getting our engagement on: the Rule of Threes for generating new ideas
    • What should never be filmed from the boot of a car…
    • Data collection and insights outside of the LMS – beyond traditional elearning approaches
    • The jingle method (yes, this is a teaser, but an interesting anecdote worth listening out for)
    • Solutions for the ‘white-noise’ of over used (abused?) animation techniques (you know that famous hand that draws so many crappy animations?)

    Links from the podcast
