Government Skills is using the new technology for the first time
on the Civil Service Expectations course and wants feedback from
learners.
Government Skills is asking for feedback after using an
AI-generated video within its updated Civil Service Expectations
course.
It is the first time an AI-generated video has been used to
enhance learning on one of the cross-government courses hosted on
Civil Service Learning.
Civil Service Expectation is one of the most widely completed
courses on the platform. It covers the Civil Service Code, the
2010 Equality Act, the importance of diversity and inclusion,
where to go for help and support, and much more.
Recent updates
As part of the updates introduced last week (December 2), it will
now include reference to the new Worker Protection (Amendment of
Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 that came into effect on 26 October,
which sets out employers' responsibilities in preventing sexual
harassment in the workplace.
Piloting a new approach
“As part of the learning we are piloting the use of an
AI-generated video as an optional module to help civil servants
understand the new responsibilities,” said Government Skills'
online business partner.
“Research has shown us that people are generally receptive to
learning done in this way so long as it's clear that AI is being
used.”
“If this short video helps people learn in the way we hope it
does, it will be something we can use across more of our learning
as it's both time and cost-effective. But we are keen for
feedback first.”
