SWARM as an Immersive Learning Environment for Analytical Reasoning Skills
Channel: Connected Intelligence Centre | University of Technology, Sydney
Date: 2019-02-22

SWARM is a cloud platform aimed at improving analytical reasoning in intelligence work. SWARM tries to improve analytical reasoning by improving collaboration within groups of analysts rather than by trying to structure their thinking in any particular way. In large-scale testing in 2017, teams on SWARM showed they could produce remarkably good reasoning. While primarily aimed at improving performance, SWARM appears to have a strong additional benefit in improving participants’ understanding of, and facility in, analytical reasoning. This presentation will provide a quick overview of SWARM and some of the research results to date, and briefly discuss SWARM’s potential as a learning environment.
