Keechiu wants to deliver content just-in-time at speed.

Someone once told me that designing a 20-minute lesson is easier than producing a Tiktok video, or a TeachTok video, for 120 seconds. Being able to crunch down the same content under 120 seconds for on-the-go consumption is something else.
Spoke about the challenges the adult learning sector is facing today at the Adult Learning Xchange 2024. We have to deliver content just-in-time at speed - to a very diverse, very busy group of learners.
The Government, our IHLs and frontier industries share a common goal of topping up the skills of our workers. The big question is how.
We will need much faster sensing mechanisms to match skills demand with skills supply. There’re also rich opportunities in adaptive learning technology, where we can personalise our learning experiences. Lastly, and perhaps this is the holy grail, the adult training sector must come together, pool ideas, and produce bite-sized content, accessible to people anytime, anywhere, and on any subject.
We launched Singapore's first Adult Learning Collaboratory (ALC), by
Institute for Adult Learning Singapore (IAL). The ALC will support mature workers, facilitating enterprise transformation and exploring future-oriented pedagogies. It will bring together local and international engagements in adult learning, to spark the best ideas.
IAL is leading the way in building a culture of continuous growth. This is the spirit of the SkillsFuture movement - researchers, training providers, industry players, workers coming together to ensure that growth continues for all, for life.
