Make Real to demo award-winning approach to AI at Learning Live: AI Edition
Make Real’s self-reflective learning model combined with diagnostic and generative AI, which has recently won two awards, will be available to demo.
AI remains a top priority for learning and development. Many use cases have still focussed on content creation, rather than on enhancing the experience of learning that content. But what if there’s a more powerful way of employing this technology?
Make Real began exploring diagnostic AI, and specifically emotional recognition AI, at the start of 2023. Building on an already-proven concept of a learning experience that has self-reflection at its core, Make Real added the element of personalised feedback on how a learner might be coming across in a simulated video call.
This set up has been deployed in two key client projects – and has achieved recognition in two awards:
- London Business School partnered with Make Real on a tool to provide personalised coaching feedback to business leaders and MBA students on telling their personal brand story. This won a MERIT Summit Award for Innovation in Higher Education in Learning.
- Kenes Group worked with Make Real on an app that helps medical professionals practise compassionate conversations with patients living with diabetes. The project recently received the IAPCO Innovation Award 2025 for visionary work in transforming medical education through artificial intelligence.
Make Real will demo these apps at its stand at Learning Live. Make Real’s Director of Learning, Sophie Costin, and Growth Director, Colin Welch, will also take to the seminar stage to expand on practical strategies and lessons learned on deploying AI and, crucially, how to measure its impact.
Takeaways include:
- How AI can support skills-based practice, not just content delivery
- Common pitfalls in AI learning design—and how to avoid them
- Lessons from two case studies: emotional recognition AI and AI-driven avatars
- How to design, develop and test AI-driven practice that builds confidence and capability
- Why (and how) to measure the impact of AI in skills development
Make Real will be exhibiting at Learning Live: AI Edition on 26th June at ETC Venues 133 Houndsditch, at Stand 1.
