How a teenage girl’s waking dream birthed what is (probably) the first science fiction novel – and in the process gave the world its most enduring image of technology gone wrong. This time we’re coming for the myth, the curse, the cliche that is Frankenstein. John Helmer and Ezri Carlebach climb up the tower, point...
Can the future of an entire civilisation be calculated like the behaviour of gas molecules? In the second of two episodes on Isaac Asimov, John Helmer and Ezri Carlebach turn from his robots to his other great franchise — the Foundation saga — and the seductive idea at its heart: psychohistory, a fictional science that...
In 1942, a 22-year-old chemistry student and part-time writer set down three short rules for how a fictional robot ought to behave. His aim was to kill off the lazy “robot-as-Frankenstein-monster” cliché. More than eighty years later, real engineers, real ethicists and real lawmakers are still arguing about them. This is the first of two...
Every genre has a shadow canon — the writers who don’t make the syllabus, don’t sell out on Amazon, and rarely get the Netflix series. In science fiction, that shadow canon is where some of the most intellectually adventurous, politically serious and formally daring work of the twentieth century was done. Having opened the series...
A hundred years ago this spring, a magazine called Amazing Stories hit the newsstands and — almost by accident — gave a name and a shape to the genre we now call science fiction. Its publisher, Hugo Gernsback, was an immigrant electrical engineer, visionary and relentless self-promoter. He wanted his magazine to delight and enthrall...
In 1983, Isaac Asimov predicted that computers would let every person learn what they wanted, in their own time, at their own speed. Forty years on, that vision is more or less the world we live in. So what else might science fiction have to tell us about the future we’re already inside? Welcome to...
Augmented Workforce, Learning at the Frontline and the Destiny of L&D. For a long stretch, you could skip Learning Technologies for a year and miss almost nothing. Not this year. AI has stopped being something L&D is piloting and started being something the field is rebuilding around — and the conversation at LT26 had a...
Your organisation has probably spent years building a learning library. Courses, videos, SCORM files, PDFs — hundreds of them, living in the LMS or scattered across SharePoint. You can enrol in them. You can sit through them. What you can’t do is ask them a question and get an answer in seconds, at the moment...
What does it take to change how an industry works — and what happens when it doesn’t change fast enough? Lars Hyland has been asking that question for thirty years, from the early days of interactive multimedia through nearly a decade leading EMEA for Totara Learning, and now at Enlytning, an AI-powered platform helping small...

Children often ask challenging questions, but according to John's guest this time, we should see these as valuable opportunities for learning. Dr Rebecca Rolland is a speech pathologist and education lecturer whose recently published book, “The Art of Talking with Children”, gives parents and educators practical strategies for holding what she calls 'rich 'conversations' which she sees as central to effective parenting and education. John discusses these strategies with Rebecca, and explores how applicable these techniques might be to older students and the field of workplace learning. * 00:00 Intro * 03:09 'Rich' conversation * 08:34 How do you stop it feeling awkward? * 11:40 What part do rich conversations play in learning? * 13:31 What are her theoretical underpinnings? * 22:12 Is there adequate support for difference? * 29:56 Does elearning support good conversations? * 35:54 What advice does she give to businesses about employee needs?

Adaptive learning has been bubbling under for a while in learning technologies, but it’s never quite broken through.

With job vacancies at record levels, wages on the rise after having been stalled for many years and the so-called great resignation underway, workers face a labour market changed beyond recognition by the pandemic and other forces. The workplace learning industry in particular is a volatile place, with digital learning having taken a big step forward during the pandemic. John talks to Nick Jones, co-founder of Blue Eskimo, a specialist recruiter for the sector.
