Unstructured Continuous Learning through Following Online Thought Leaders and Practitioners
Taking the initiative to continuously learn about AI involves following online thought leaders, news sharers, and practitioners. Curating lists of individuals from various platforms like podcasts and social media can offer insights and valuable information. The diversity in content, from news updates about AI to in-depth discussions led by thought leaders and practitioners sharing real use cases, allows for informal yet rich learning experiences. Encouraging team members to engage with this unstructured learning process fosters a culture of knowledge sharing and personal growth within the organization.
Self-Paced Online Courses: Flexible Training with Limited Engagement and Completion Rates
Self-paced online courses on AI offer flexibility in learning, with video-based lessons and hands-on exercises accessible at any time. While cost-effective and convenient, these courses struggle with low completion rates, with only 3% of learners globally finishing such courses. The lack of engagement in solitary learning environments and the absence of immediate feedback and networking opportunities hinder the full utilization of such courses. Despite their affordability and flexibility, the limitations in interaction and completion statistics pose challenges for effective AI skill acquisition.
Cohort-Based Courses: Engaging Group Learning with Updated Content and Networking Opportunities
Cohort-based courses provide live instruction and interactive learning experiences on AI topics within a group setting. Led by instructors, these courses offer updated content and real-time engagement through discussions and shared exercises. The collaborative environment fosters deeper understanding through interaction with peers and instructors, enhancing the overall learning process. While these courses offer networking possibilities and engaging sessions, the financial investment and fixed scheduling requirements may limit accessibility for some organizations.
