Changi Airport Group (CAG)
|
Smartease
|
The current challenge for CAG is to provide consistent upskilling and assessment opportunities to retail staff given the current manpower constraints and the potential scale of the operations. With operations running 24hrs every day, the tenants at CAG have difficulties releasing their staff for periodic training, reinforcement and assessment. As such, a technology-enabled approach underpinned by adaptive intelligence with a focus on competency-based learning and assessment could be suitable and viable solution to alleviate our current training needs.

Civil Defence Academy (CDA) | Questlife

The challenge is in seeking an engaging and fun yet educational mobile solution/platform for training instructors as part of the preparation before they accept the role as instructors. The platform should be easy to use by the learners and to manage by the trainers. It should allow transfer of skills and knowledge in more ways than just classroom lecture methods. In summary, the mobile platform needs to provide an active experiential based learning for participants to learn the skills and knowledge of instructional training.

With online learning, the cost of delivery has reduced substantially. If it is blended, then the variety of delivery approaches provides learners with a distinctly diverse learning environment which makes the learning process interesting and challenging at the same time. Part of the challenge has to do with the reduced learner support for online learning. Compounding the online learning challenge for learners is that the checking of performance is only conducted face-to-face in class. This generates a time gap for learners as they have difficulties determining their understanding of the online learning. Current online quizzes and case studies do not provide sufficient feedback that is customized to the learner’s responses. Many learners are guessing their way through MCQ quizzes. There needs to be a more adaptive and personalized approach to helping learners acquire understanding and checking performance online.

As a leading training centre in obstetrics and gynaecology (OBGYN), availability of cases and realistic material for training OBGYN trainees is a critical concern due to a host of reasons, such as limitations of human resources (over - stretched Faculty), opportunistic nature of real-life cases, patient confidentiality issues, limited depth/detail perception of 2D video/images, etc. A solution utilising VR/AR technology would make possible diverse opportunities and advantages (e.g. better spatial, distance and volume estimation of the internal organ system) for training medical residents in OBGYN, not just for KKH, but the entire OBGYN community at large.

As a provider of training courses for public and corporate clients across different industries, we face the challenge of developing the competency of learners to be able to apply the skills learned in the classroom to various contexts and scenarios at the workplace. Such a competence level entails higher order thinking and experience, which would be limited by the current conventional classroom mode of training and (fixed set of) classroom-based role play learning activities. There is a need to ‘push’ out a diverse and wide array of scenarios to learners for practicing ‘decision-making’ in the adaptation of their skills, whereby following a pre-determined procedure would be inadequate. The envisaged solution should be scalable to many learners.

Patient Safety is paramount in our healthcare institution. "Do No Harm" is the first and foremost principle. However, our current education system does not emphasize the importance of this concept. Hence it is imperative to teach patient safety concepts such as communication, teamwork, error identification and consequence of unsafe practices to the students when they enter the workforce. It is challenging to develop a patient safety (PS) training curriculum that encompasses all the required components and also captures their interest. Another challenge lies in ensuring all junior and / new staff (doctors, nurses, allied health) attend the training.

One of the mandate for SNEF is to drive the digital transformation of Singapore companies, especially in the area of HR and staff development. The recent advancements in technology-related developments hold tremendous promise in helping companies move forward with regard to a user-friendly means of upskilling the workforce at the workplace. However, the challenge is the speed of coding such Al-based technologies to ensure a customized solution (e.g. to produce a customized e-learning object) that is appropriate for each of the companies.

Serious Games Association

One of our research thrusts addresses the challenges and opportunities of responsive humanitarian logistics in the critical and early phases of disaster relief operations The challenge is to strategically pre- position stockpiles of relief supplies for fastest response. The opportunity is to reduce the risk of supply starvation and increase efficiency of the logistics of supply. The backdrop is countries in the ASEAN region. We seek to code our mitigation strategies and gamify scenarios with an emphasis on learning points via role play. The envisioned goal is imparting the results of our research through modes that are engaging, educational and reaches a wider audience, especially those involved in disaster relief planning with little knowledge of logistics, so that lessons are learnt in roles and practiced before implementation to save more assets.

21st Century Competencies will increasingly be vital for effective work performance and continual professional development. However, the acquiring and assessment of such competencies still largely depend on human interaction and engagement by human coach/mentor/trainer, which is limiting for scaling up broad-based learning, given the acceleration of technology - enabled evolution of work processes. The challenge is to build a solution that can harness and seamlessly integrate Educational Data Mining techniques with functionality and affordance of behavior analytics to assess 21 Century Competencies. The system should be able to elicit not only employees' performance outcome, but also their detailed working process information, which has the potential to depict the full set of people's working activity.
