Does the Age Tech take into account the fact that the arrivals are baby boomers who know what tech and AI are?

The Age Tech is evolving as baby boomers, who make up a significant portion of today's seniors, become increasingly familiar with technology.

Here's how it manifests itself

Designing more intuitive interfaces

Tech age developers strive to create user interfaces that are simple, clean, and easy to navigate, drawing inspiration from design principles used in consumer apps and devices.

This includes large touchscreens, self-explanatory icons, voice commands and interactive tutorials

Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) 

AI is increasingly used in the tech age to personalize experiences, anticipate needs and provide proactive assistance.

For example, AI systems can analyze health data to detect anomalies, recommend personalized exercises or remind people to take medication.

Chatbots and AI-powered virtual assistants also facilitate communication and access to information.

Adapting to Baby Boomers' Technological Habits

Age tech companies are conducting studies to understand how baby boomers use technology and what their specific needs are.

This allows us to develop products and services that fit seamlessly into their daily lives, taking into account their preferences in communication, entertainment and health management.

For example, knowing that many Baby Boomers use social networks like Facebook allows companies to create products that use this platform as a means of communication.

Training and support 

There are many initiatives aimed at providing older people with personalized training and support to help them use age tech technologies.

This may include workshops, online tutorials, in-home demonstrations and telephone support.

In short, the tech age recognizes that baby boomers are increasingly comfortable with technology and adapts its solutions accordingly.

The goal is to create technologies that are user-friendly, useful and tailored to the needs and preferences of this generation.

i have chronic pain. i am neurodivergent. i understand - deeply - the allure of a "quick fix" like AI. i also just grew up in a different time. we have been warned about this.

15 entire years ago i heard about this. in my forensics class in high school, we watched a documentary about how AI-based "crime solving" software was inevitably biased against people of color.

my teacher stressed that AI is like a book: when someone writes it, some part of the author will remain within the result. the internet existed but not as loudly at that point - we didn't know that AI would be able to teach itself off already-biased Reddit threads. i googled it: yes, this bias is still happening. yes, it's just as bad if not worse.

i can't actually stop you. if you wanna use ChatGPT to slide through your classes, that's on you. it's your money and it's your time. you will spend none of it thinking, you will learn nothing, and, in college, you will piss away hundreds of thousands of dollars. you will stand at the podium having done nothing, accomplished nothing. a cold and bitter pyrrhic victory.

i'm not even sure students actually read the essays or summaries or emails they have ChatGPT pump out. i think it just flows over them and they use the first answer they get. my brother teaches engineering - he recently got fifty-three copies of almost-the-exact-same lab reports. no one had even changed the wording.

and yes: AI itself (as a concept and practice) isn't always evil. there's AI that can help detect cancer, for example. and yet: when i ask my students if they'd be okay with a doctor that learned from AI, many of them balk. it is one thing if they don't read their engineering textbook or if they don't write the critical-thinking essay. it's another when it starts to affect them. they know it's wrong for AI to broad-spectrum deny insurance claims, but they swear their use of AI is different.

there's a strange desire to sort of divorce real-world AI malpractice over "personal use". for example, is it moral to use AI to write your cover letters? cover letters are essentially only templates, and besides: AI is going to be reading your job app, so isn't it kind of fair?

i recently found out that people use AI as a romantic or sexual partner. it seems like teenagers particularly enjoy this connection, and this is one of those "sticky" moments as a teacher. honestly - you can roast me for this - but if it was an actually-safe AI, i think teenagers exploring their sexuality with a fake partner is amazing. it prevents them from making permanent mistakes, it can teach them about their bodies and their desires, and it can help their confidence. but the problem is that it's not safe. there isn't a well-educated, sensitive AI specifically to help teens explore their hormones. it's just internet-fed cycle. who knows what they're learning. who knows what misinformation they're getting.

the most common pushback i get involves therapy. none of us have access to the therapist of our dreams - it's expensive, elusive, and involves an annoying amount of insurance claims. someone once asked me: are you going to be mad when AI saves someone's life?

therapists are not just trained on the book, they're trained on patient management and helping you see things you don't see yourself. part of it will involve discomfort. i don't know that AI is ever going to be able to analyze the words you feed it and answer with a mind towards the "whole person" writing those words. but also - if it keeps/kept you alive, i'm not a purist. i've done terrible things to myself when i was at rock bottom. in an emergency, we kind of forgive the seatbelt for leaving bruises. it's just that chat shouldn't be your only form of self-care and recovery.

and i worry that the influence chat has is expanding. more and more i see people use chat for the smallest, most easily-navigated situations. and i can't like, make you worry about that in your own life. i often think about how easy it was for social media to take over all my time - how i can't have a tiktok because i spend hours on it. i don't want that to happen with chat. i want to enjoy thinking. i want to enjoy writing. i want to be here. i've already really been struggling to put the phone down. this feels like another way to get you to pick the phone up.

the other day, i was frustrated by a book i was reading. it's far in the series and is about a character i resent. i googled if i had to read it, or if it was one of those "in between" books that don't actually affect the plot (you know, one of those ".5" books). someone said something that really stuck with me - theoretically you're reading this series for enjoyment, so while you don't actually have to read it, one would assume you want to read it.

i am watching a generation of people learn they don't have to read the thing in their hand. and it is kind of a strange sort of doom that comes over me: i read because it's genuinely fun. i learn because even though it's hard, it feels good. i try because it makes me happy to try. and i'm watching a generation of people all lay down and say: but i don't want to try.

you will never get true fashion inspiration from pinterest or tiktok. the most inspired you'll ever be to dress a certain way is when you spot a stranger on public transport in what is objectively the coolest most stylish outfit ever worn by a human being. you will never see them again but that look will haunt your dreams.

the batkids are strong in their own rights. they're used to protecting their friends and loved ones. they are the protective one in their teams.

however, whenever Bruce is around, all of a sudden they became kittens held by the mother. all those protective instincts? gone. they are now with their father and their job is to duck or satay away or run to safety when instructed. jumping in front of harm's way? that's dad's job. them's the rules.

Unlock Potential, Measure Success: Nurturing Talent Through Insightful Assessments

Intro Summary

Gagne’s eighth event of instruction, the ROPES learning model, and several other theories have put great emphasis on assessments. They help chart success, elevate learning, and illuminate growth. In this article, we will explore the importance of knowledge checks and how to create effective assessments as part of eLearning solutions.

Introduction

The whole aim of a learning process is to help the learner move from Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) to Zone of Achieved Development (ZAD). Most of us are aware of these terms from Lev Vygotsky's theory of learning and development. From unknowing to known, the distance between the current developmental level and potential development can be covered through guidance as per Lev Vygotsky’s theory.

But how do we know that this distance has been traversed by the learner?

The answer is performance assessment.

Types of Assessments

Broadly, assessments in eLearning are as follows: • Formative assessments • Summative assessments • Pre-assessments

Formative assessments measure the learners’ understanding and progress during the learning process. Summative assessments assess the learner’s knowledge acquired towards the end of a course or unit of study.

Pre-assessments determine the learner’s current knowledge set which then be connected to new information presented during the learning process.

But then, what would be the starting point of the zone of proximal development? How do we know what the learner already knows and needs to be trained in? This is where pre-assessments come in.

Their current knowledge set is assessed, and then the stimulus of new information is presented by intelligently connecting the dots between known information and what is being presented.

Assessments That Illuminate, Inspire, and Empower

Here are tips for creating effective assessments in eLearning.

Learning Objectives

Connect the assessments to the learning objectives of the eLearning course. Derive the learning objectives based on the pre-assessments and the content that is to be taught to the employees, customers, and other stakeholders.

Learning Style

The VARK model can be reflected in assessments too, such as image-based ‘match the following’ (visual) and filling out risk assessment forms or SOPs (kinetic) based on a scenario.

Kinetics can be taken a little further. If there is the use of virtual reality, then learners can be tested to place the right product on the shelves, as part of visual merchandising, or even assemble parts. Voiceovers can also be added to assessments for learners who prefer audio-based learning.

The scenarios can be presented in text, audio, or video form.

Gamified Assessments

Well! Assessments need not be tedious. It is a part of any learning journey. Most game shows test the participant’s knowledge, and they have a huge audience waiting eagerly to watch these game shows.

In eLearning, there is always a provision for gamified assessments. Templates like spin-the-wheel, jeopardy, board games, find a word, swipe, drag and drop to baskets, sports, etc. can be used.

Are you ready for your own game show?

Remediation

There is no failure. You only fail when you stop trying. An effective eLearning course allows for remediation, where a learner can revisit the content pertaining to the question to understand the concept and then apply the learning to pass the quiz. Practice is the key.

The number of attempts can be defined, and the progress can be locked to prevent the learner from proceeding until the correct answer is submitted.

Learning Path

An efficient eLearning course creates customized pathways for the learner to chart a success story and accelerate learning outcomes. In addition to courses, meetings, resources, and classrooms, assessments can be added to the learning pathways at regular intervals. KREDO LMS learning pathway can be dotted with virtual meetings, classrooms, surveys, catalogs, resources, assignments, and external content.

Test on Applicability and not Memory

An insightful assessment series does not test the learners merely on facts. The test is done to assess if the employee can perform the task and whether the aim of reducing the skills gap is achieved.

Culmination

Choosing the right learning partner is the key to transforming your learning environment.

The courses and assessments can also be created in our fast-paced LMS/LXP KREDO and the new-age authoring tool Prodient.io.

KREDO Classroom allows you to create pre-assessments, and all assessments can be added to the learning pathways.

Kinda love the fact that most characters in httyd don't have perfect teeth. Zero human dental care but they do have crazy good healthcare for if you lose a limb or two. They're very prepared to just hand you a peg leg at the drop of a hat. They recover from amputation like its a hobby tbh.

But when Snotlout lost three teeth from a punch he seemed so distraught about it. He has a missing front tooth thro his entire tenure in the franchise. Gobber has a fake tooth made from a rock that regularly falls out and he has to tap it back into place.

They literally have a holiday to celebrate the fact that so many of them have lost limbs. they have an annual 'having a stump fucking rocks!' day but no one is telling these kids to floss.

Like there is a dragon dentist and we see Gobber give the dragons fake teeth. but humans getting fake teeth seems to be an oddity almost exclusive to Gobber.

It's just such an interesting detail in the world building. They fixed an aspect of ableism but at the cost of human dentistry

Sport coaches tend to be a central influence on helping athletes develop and stay focused on their major sports goals. Excellent coaches effectively guide athletes in their tactical, physical, mental, and technical development, pushing them beyond what they think they are capable of achieving, but paced in a ways that the athlete progressively and safely develops.

man i feel bad for fans of the httyd movies who haven't seen the shows, especially race to the edge. like they don't know that the riders left berk and lived on an outpost together to go adventuring and fight dragon hunters as a team. they don't know that snotlout and astrid and fishlegs and the twins got character development. they don't know how cool and interesting the villains in the shows are compared to the movies. they don't know that the riders are filled with love and loyalty to each other and they bicker and train and play card games with each other and have sleepovers together and will risk their lives for their friends and their dragons in a heartbeat. imagine that.
