The Microlearning Meetup Newsletter #11
WELCOME TO #11
In this newsletter we cover the usual what's on, as well as some links to a variety of articles, ebooks and recordings on microlearning. We've also got an interview I did with Michael Ioffe (CEO, Arist ) where we learn more about Arist, AI and what two things he would say if he had 20-30 seconds with learning leaders.
I've followed Arist for awhile now, and the interview with Michael simply confirmed my view of them as an 'intentionally thoughtful' company. What I mean by this is that everything they do seems to be underpinned by solid and robust thinking. Thinking that is purposeful and considered, with a streak of lightness and humour. Their latest strapline on their website - Get sh*t done with corporate learning - embodies this. A little bit lower down the page runs the banner: Warning: Use Traditional Learning At Your Own Risk.
Enjoy The Microlearning Meetup newsletter.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to chat with Michael Ioffe (CEO, Arist) recently. In this conversation Michael shared how Arist got its name, his thoughts on learning in the flow of work, AI (of course) and some of the challenges Arist faces in getting learning leaders to think about message-based learning.
