📖 Overview

The Learning Hub pursues a paradigm shift from traditional passive information consumption to intelligent, automated knowledge development.

This tool transforms interaction with information by implementing intelligent gathering, automated information development and collaborative learning.

Core Transformation Principles

The Learning Hub changes learning from:

  • “Information sparse”“Information centric” Information is developed iteratively into the Learning hub, with help of Copilot. Copilot assists in gathering, curating and developing information, making it more accessible and actionable.

  • “Passive consumption”“Active intelligent analysis and development” The Learning Hub actively processes information, into the first creation and also into the development iterations. Learning hub assists in organizing information for readability, consistency… and also in identifying knowledge gaps and opportunities for further exploration.

  • “Random learning”“Structured knowledge development” Learning now progresses with the development of information. It doesn’t stop at the first read.

  • “Individual learning”“Collaborative learning” Learning pieces can be exchanged and developed across learning hub instances and, of course, it can be developed starting from (public) web resources or user provided information.

Intelligence Application Areas

Learning Hub applies structured intelligence to:

  • Information gathering - Multi-channel automated collection

⚡ Automated Prompts

Real time Prompts

When accessing a specific article or document, the system can provide an on-the-fly analysis and validations.

  • Consistency Check - Consistency with existing knowledge and upto date information
  • Validate and update references - Check that references are still valid and up to date
  • Fact Verification - Cross-referencing with trusted sources
  • Gaps analysis - check that gaps are not covered by the article, (eg. as for changes subsequent to the article creation)

User triggered Prompts

  • Contextual Summary - Key points and insights extraction (if required)
  • Clarity and coherence Check - Clarity and coherence evaluation
  • Readability Check - Conceptual flow and readability evaluation
  • Create an example - …
