Cybersecurity awareness: stay prepared, every day

In today’s rapidly evolving job market, one of the most significant challenges faced by companies across various sectors is the shortage of qualified staff. This shortage exacerbates the need for efficient onboarding and continuous training processes. The traditional model of employee induction and recurrent training is often time-consuming and one-size-fits-all. It treats all employees similarly, regardless of their existing knowledge and skills. This is where adaptive learning technology comes into play as a solution that can significantly shorten the learning curve and anchor and retain crucial competencies year-round. This enhances productivity and reduces the time it takes to get and keep employees proficient.

Since its start in 2011, the Drillster app has heavily relied on didactic artificial intelligence in its algorithm to determine the order, frequency, and rhythm of learning. Now, there is also generative artificial intelligence for creating high-quality adaptive learning content. We present theDrillster Question Crafter, where generative AI can help organisations create adaptive learning content in at least 60% less time.

The philanthropic financial institutionBBVA Microfinance Foundation(BBVAMF), has selected Drillster, an adaptive microlearning application, to ensure critical competencies remain at the forefront of their employees’ minds. By using the app, BBVAMF enables their people to develop knowledge, awareness, and skills, while retaining these newly acquired skills in the long term. This met the need to create an innovative and future-proof learning program for their organization.

AI. AI. AI. Everything is AI these days, especially the generative kind. And that’s good because we encourage innovative developments. However, it’s important to talk about didactic AI as well. While generative AI helps you with information, it doesn’t necessarily facilitate better and more effective learning. Didactic AI does. In this article, we explain what it is, why it is useful, and how you can benefit from it.

On Thursday 16 May we will be at the Develhub annual congress. Expect an inspiring programme with keynotes and expert speakers. Niels van Wijk from Drillster will facilitate workshops on the power of question-led learning.

Performance Journey Goes Dutch is back! This event—hosted by our partner Xprtise—is packed with inspiration, fresh insights, and networking opportunities. The keynote line-up features David James (host of ‘The Learning & Development Podcast’) alongside experts Bob Mosher, Donald Clark, Pieter van den Hoogenband, and Katelijn Nijsmans. Join us on 5 and 6 June 2024 at the remarkable venue De Heerlickheijd van Ermelo. Drillster will be present with a booth and two co-hosted sessions with railAlert.
