Beneubanks to Share Updated Learner Research at Adobe Learning Summit

In a recent LinkedIn post, Beneubanks announced their upcoming presentation at the Adobe Learning Summit, focusing on updated research into learner preferences and the evolving landscape of corporate learning. Beneubanks, who previously spoke at the summit two years ago, highlighted key areas of discussion that will be revisited and expanded upon.

Beneubanks is set to return to the Adobe Learning Summit to share fresh data and insights on what employees are thinking regarding their learning and development. The post emphasizes Beneubanks’s previous work at the summit, noting the critical topics covered:

“We explored topics like: —> Their preferred sources of learning content (hint: not the LMS!) —> The two crucial elements for a strong learning culture (opportunity + autonomy is the secret sauce) —> How someone’s generation/life stage affects their preferred source of learning content”

Evolving Learner Preferences and the Role of AI

The upcoming presentation will delve into updated research, with Beneubanks indicating that the findings are particularly compelling. A significant factor influencing these changes is the rise of Artificial Intelligence. As Beneubanks points out, AI is reshaping fundamental aspects of learning.

“AI is changing WHAT people learn, HOW people learn, and WHY people learn,” Beneubanks stated in the post. This observation underscores the transformative impact of AI on educational strategies within organizations. However, Beneubanks also cautioned against overlooking other significant shifts occurring simultaneously.

Building a Winning Learning Culture

Beneubanks stressed the importance of creating an optimal learning environment and culture where employees can thrive. The post frames the session as essential for leaders aiming to foster such an environment.

“If you’re trying to create a learning environment and culture where your people can win, this is a session you’re going to want to see,” Beneubanks wrote. This sentiment highlights the practical, results-oriented focus of their forthcoming insights.

Key Themes for Discussion

The session at the Adobe Learning Summit promises to offer actionable intelligence for learning leaders. Beneubanks plans to cover:

• Updated data on preferred learning content sources, moving beyond traditional platforms like the LMS.
• The foundational elements of a robust learning culture, emphasizing the synergy between opportunity and autonomy.
• The influence of generational and life-stage differences on how individuals prefer to consume learning content.
• The emerging impact of AI on learning objectives, methodologies, and motivations.

Beneubanks invited learning leaders to join them in Las Vegas on June 24th and 25th to engage with peers who are actively innovating in their organizational learning strategies. “Come join me on June 24th and 25th in Las Vegas and let’s spend time with leaders who are building, testing, and rethinking what learning looks like inside their organizations today,” the post concluded, providing a link for registration.
