Help learners become capable of carrying their own learning.
College is a transition from structured education toward independence, work and adult participation. DIALOGIC supports subject learning while developing the capacities learners need to direct themselves.
The transition challenge
Learners can complete courses without necessarily becoming more confident in directing their own learning, navigating uncertainty or using AI with judgement.
From supported to self-directed
Move from supported learner to self-directed participant. DIALOGIC makes learning itself visible: how someone questions, connects, evaluates, persists, adapts and begins to take responsibility for their own development.
Capabilities
- Learning autonomy
- Critical reasoning
- Employability capability
- AI literacy and judgement
The experience
Students use DIALOGIC alongside real course content. Learn supports subject learning while ARIS develops reflection, reasoning and decision-making. AoHE or selected developmental tools can be added where appropriate.
Delivery
Programme or department cohort + tutor onboarding + individual use + facilitated touchpoints + end-of-programme evaluation. Strong fit for hybrid facilitator delivery.
Evaluation to agree
Learning independence, engagement, tutor feedback, progression behaviour and human-capability indicators supported by multiple evidence sources.
Suggested pilot pathway
50–100 learners over 8–12 weeks. Suggested starting ranges, not evidence of previous delivery. Course → Department → College / Group
Customisation
Run DIALOGIC programmes or replace TEND / programme layers with a college-specific pathway for employability, transition, learning-to-learn, creative practice or AI literacy.
Read transcript — Colleges / FE introduction
College is one of those places where the relationship with learning begins to change. A learner is no longer simply being carried through a timetable; we’re asking them to become more independent, make choices and begin preparing for work and adult life. AI makes that transition more complicated, because it can remove effort at exactly the point where capability needs to grow. DIALOGIC is designed to work in the opposite direction. It helps learners use AI while developing the judgement, curiosity, confidence and learning independence they’ll need when the course — and eventually the teacher — is no longer there.
Delivery models
DIALOGIC Delivered
A DIALOGIC facilitator introduces and supports the programme. Best for pilots and early institutional adoption.
Partner Delivered
Institution staff are trained to facilitate an approved DIALOGIC programme with support, resources and quality standards.
DIALOGIC Digital
The institution operates the approved digital programme independently within agreed governance and licensing conditions.
Programmes
DIALOGIC · THINK
Reasoning, questioning, critical thinking and discernment.
DIALOGIC · LEARN
Learning-to-learn, metacognition, subject learning and independence.
DIALOGIC · CREATE
Creativity, ideation, experimentation and problem solving.
DIALOGIC · NAVIGATE
Agency, direction, self-knowledge and decision making where appropriate.
DIALOGIC · PARTICIPATE
Collaboration, relational capacity and conscious participation.
Custom Institutional
Configured around agreed developmental objectives, content, ARIS behaviour, journeys, practices, reporting and governance.
Who DIALOGIC is for, by age
We recommend DIALOGIC for independent users aged 14 and over. Under-14 guided programmes are organised with each placement. Parents or guardians receive programme information and must explicitly opt in before participation. An enquiry does not grant learner access.
Read about safeguarding, data protection and accessibilitySafeguarding, data protection and accessibility
Before any learner starts, the institution and DIALOGIC must agree the programme's supervision, age eligibility, accessibility, data handling, memory, staff visibility and reporting arrangements. Do not assume that a pilot enquiry establishes those arrangements.
Terms · Privacy NoticeTalk to us about a pilot
Tell us a little about your setting and what you're hoping to try. We'll come back to you with a suggested pilot: who it's for, how long it runs, which delivery model fits, and how safeguarding and data protection are handled. You won't have to commit to anything at this stage.
Suggested starting ranges: schools, 30–60 students over 6–8 weeks; colleges, 50–100 learners over 8–12 weeks. These are suggestions, not evidence of past delivery.
Use the interactive form to submit institutional contact details. Do not include learner names or identifiable learner information. Enquiry records and any separate institutional-updates opt-in expire 8 weeks from submission.
