Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Inside Learning! In this instalment, we are thrilled to host a true revolutionary in the education industry, someone who has not only coined the 'courses to resources' shift but has also introduced the groundbreaking affective context model of learning and crafted the innovative 5Di© approach to human-centred learning design.
Our guest today boasts an impressive three-decade track record of shaping the future of learning approaches for both public and private organizations. Not only is he a winner of multiple awards in people development strategy, innovation, and learning content, but he's also a cherished friend of Learnovate. To top it off, he is the author of the enlightening book 'How People Learn.' Join us in welcoming the insightful Nick Shackleton-Jones!
In our conversation, Nick sheds light on the flaws of the present education system, stating that it's "based on an incorrect understanding of cognition and learning." He delves into the historical circumstances and industrial age requirements that shaped our current system, advocating for an optimal education model that seamlessly integrates learning and work throughout an individual's life. His vision emphasizes task-based learning derived from real-world issues, with recognition based on accomplishments that directly influence employment opportunities.
Drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch, who declared in 200 BC, "The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled," Nick challenges the conventional approach of trying to force content into people's heads. He discusses the need for a paradigm shift, where education sparks the fire within individuals rather than merely filling their minds.
Nick introduces us to the game-changing "Affective Context Model," presenting an empirically grounded theory of learning. He explores the fascinating concept that people can share the same experiences yet remember different things, emphasizing that true learning occurs when individuals genuinely care about the subject matter.
But that's not all – our conversation takes an exciting turn as we delve into the role of AI in learning. Nick Shackleton-Jones shares his insights on how AI can be harnessed to enhance the learning experience, providing valuable perspectives on the intersection of technology and education.
Join us on this enlightening journey as we unravel the intricacies of learning, challenge traditional paradigms, and explore the exciting potential of AI in education.

Over the past few months, there has been colossal hype and speculation about the implications of large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and, most recently, GPT4. ChatGPT, in particular, reached 100 million users in two months, making it the fastest-growing consumer application of all time.
It isn’t clear yet what kind of impact LLMs will have, and opinions vary hugely. Many experts argue that LLMs will have little impact (early academic research suggests that the capability of LLMs is restricted to formal linguistic competence) or that even a near-infinite volume of text-based training data is still severely limiting.
Others argue the opposite, that is, the businesses that understand the significance of this change — and act on it first — will be at a considerable advantage.
What we do know now is that generative AI has captured the imagination of the wider public and that it can produce first drafts and generate ideas virtually instantaneously. We also know that it can struggle with accuracy.
Despite the open questions about this new technology, companies are now searching for ways to apply it.
Is there a way to cut through the polarising arguments, hype and hyperbole and think clearly about where the technology will hit home first?
Our guest believes there is.
Marc Ramos is the Chief Learning Officer of Cornerstone, a global leader in learning and talent management technologies. With over 25 years of experience as a learning leader, Marc has worked with Google, Microsoft, Accenture, Oracle, and more. His insights and expertise have helped organisations develop and implement effective learning strategies that drive business results. In this episode, we discuss the implications of large language models and explore Marc's perspective on the latest trends and innovations in learning and development.

Inclusive education as a concept is elusive. No one definition exists, but instead much diversity in how we conceive and understand it. Ireland, like most countries, has an increasingly diverse student population where the ‘one size fits all’ curriculum cannot possibly work for everyone. By understanding student variability and identifying the barriers to learning as students navigate the education system, we can inform ways to create more inclusive learning environments for all.
We are joined by Dr Joanne Banks, who discusses the history of special education in Ireland and shares highlights of the Blended Learning in Schools: A Universal Design Approach (Erasmus+ UDL-BOE project).
