Edufuturists #295 Failure & Experience with Louise Jones

In this episode of the podcast, we welcome back Louise Jones, the Chief Community Officer at ThingLink. We discuss her journey in education technology, the significance of multi-modal learning, and the shift from measuring attendance to engagement in educational settings. Louise talks passionately about the importance of accessibility and compassion in communication, sharing a case study of Mitsubishi Electric's innovative training solutions that utilises immersive experiences to train future engineers. We also cover the role of technology in enhancing learning experiences, and the need for scenario-based and failure-based learning approaches, and how these methods can inspire the next generation of learners and prepare them for the workforce and beyond through creating engaging and supportive learning environments.Chapters00:00 Introductions01:59 Louise's Journey and Current Role06:13 The Importance of Multi-Modal Learning11:56 Engagement Over Attendance in Education18:00 Accessibility and Compassion in Communication21:50 Case Study: Mitsubishi Electric's Innovative Training Solutions24:21 Inspiring the Next Generation of Engineers25:38 The Role of Technology in Education27:49 Accessibility and Inclusivity in Engineering28:32 Digital Learning and Employability32:03 Scenario-Based Learning in Barista Training41:59 Embracing Failure-Based LearningCheck out more resources that Louise has shared: Multi-modal Learning: https://www.thinglink.com/blog/multi-modal-learning-in-action/The Mitsubishi Electric UK Webinar: https://www.thinglink.com/blog/new-webinar-engineering-the-future/Interactive Barista Course Overview: https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1981396205845877604Podcast from Notebook LM with Subtitles: https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1982055975649018533Thanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you.Ben & Steve xChampioning those who are making the future of education a reality.Follow us on X: https://www.twitter.com/edufuturistsFollow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/edufuturists/Check out all about Edufuturists at https://www.edufuturists.comWant to sponsor future episodes or get involved with the Edufuturists work?Get in touch: [email protected]
