Multimodal Learning and AI

In the latest episode of The Learning Summit Podcast, Sean Gilligan, founder of Webanywhere, explores how multimodal learning and AI are transforming education. Platforms like Watch and Learn, Gemini, and NotebookLM are creating personalized, flexible, and engaging learning experiences by integrating text, audio, video, and live interaction.

“Multimodal learning supports different styles—whether you prefer listening, watching, or interacting live,” Sean explains. “It’s about offering flexibility while keeping learners engaged.”

Sean also highlights how AI enhances real-time engagement: “Imagine live quizzes and polls during a session, giving presenters instant feedback to adapt and meet learner needs on the spot.”

These advancements don’t just enhance engagement—they empower educators with insights to refine their content and strategies. “With tools like NotebookLM, learners can even revisit sessions, generate podcasts, and ask AI hosts questions, creating a truly adaptive learning journey,” Sean adds.
