The emergence of Artificial Intelligence in the L&D industry presents managers and learners with unique training opportunities. "Artificial Intelligence uses technology to analyze a situation or environment and to make increasingly intelligent choices based on that information," says Adrian Weaver, Director of Global Product Management at NetDimensions.

Artificial Intelligence in eLearning has been hotly tipped to revolutionize the industry, and NetDimensions Talent Suite 13.1 follows on from its introduction in version 12 in July 2016. Dynamic Load Analysis saw the Artificial Intelligence engine monitoring run-time loads to provide a rating for online and overall activity, so that NetDimensions Talent Suite performance parameters could be adjusted in real time. In release 13.1, this same engine is used to deliver user-oriented recommendations with a new feature called AI Assistant Recommendations.

AI Assistant Recommendations analyses users’ current training history and then suggests other courses that may be of interest based on their training.

Here are just some of the other new and enhanced features in NetDimensions Talent Suite 13.1:

• In addition to the new AI feature, the forum functionality has been completely reworked to provide a new user interface and user experience, and specifically to include better capabilities for uploading and moderating user-generated content.
• Drag-and-drop support allows administrators to make rapid adjustments to classroom planning using drag and drop and by resizing event chips.

"We're extremely excited about the new features in the NetDimensions Talent Suite version 13.1. With more Artificial Intelligence capabilities than ever before and a forum that's been streamlined with the end-user in mind, NetDimensions Talent Suite 13.1 puts the power of choice and user-friendliness firmly in the users’ hands," said Bill Mastin, Senior Vice President of Sales.
