I was looking at the results of the Learning and Work Institute survey looking at the use of technology to support learning and one detail made me stop:
Confidence in using technologies more specific to learning and work is also low; just two in five adults are confident in joining video meetings for work (40 per cent) or learning (39 per cent), while only three in ten (31 per cent) are confident using online platforms to learn. This is concerning, given that these technologies have become embedded in learning and work settings since the Coronavirus pandemic.
Using technology to support learning and work: Insights from the Adult Participation in Learning Survey
As I’ve said before, we can’t trust headlines from surveys without context but if you think your new learning platform is going to ‘fix’ all the broken things, you need to check yourself.
But is that because they fear that the tech won’t work, rather than because of perceived deficiencies in their skills ?

Since it’s a Learning ant Work survey I’d suggest the former but it could be the latter.
