Venue: Hotel Gustavelund

Address: Tuusula, Finland

Dr. Sae Schatz will present a keynote address, “Emerging Technologies and the Future of Military Learning“ at the NORDIC ADL Conference in Tuulusa, Finland.

Globalization, social media, ever-increasing computing power, and the proliferation of low-cost advanced technologies have created a level of worldwide complexity and rapid change never before seen. To remain competitive in this environment, coalition defense agencies must identify new ways to empower our forces. Part of that solution includes increased investments in our personnel (i.e., our “talent” or “human dimension”). Specifically, military personnel require an expanded set of competencies, higher levels of nuanced skills such as critical thinking and emotional intelligence, and more efficient and agile pathways to expertise. Towards this end, this talk will outline a vision for the future of military learning, painting a picture of the “art of the possible,” and describing a range of emerging learning technologies that will enable this vision.
