AI’s capabilities in processing large datasets quickly make it invaluable for generating initial content drafts or supporting materials. These drafts can lay the groundwork upon which human creativity builds, refining them into nuanced and contextually rich educational resources. The symbiosis between AI-driven content generation and human oversight ensures content is both efficient and aligned with the learner’s needs.

Designing for the Future: Anticipating Learner Needs

Content Development, Learning Strategy / By /

The social platform formerly known as Twitter—now X—is the place to be when understanding future trends, especially in learning. As a small example, Stanford University recently held a hackathon in which Ivy League students competed for a $200,000 grand prize. One entrant created an Augmented Reality (AR) headset that helps wearers fix their cars based on AI-assisted articles and videos.

User Experience in Learning: How to Apply Design Thinking Principles for Learner-Centric Courses

Content Development / By /

The time learners spend interacting with the course is time they will never get back. As satiating as it is for an L&D professional to think that time is inherently well-spent, this is only true if those minutes were a good use of learners’ lives. Are these courses well-thought-out, engaging, and informative, and do they put learners at the center of their design? Do they represent the optimal use of learners’ time?

Traditional models, such as ADDIE and Dick and Carrey, and their core features are foundational in instructional design. However, newer approaches can address contemporary learning environments and technologies just as well. As changes are happening at a different speed in the 2020s, consider embracing them rather than waiting for the right moment. The best is always to start now

Content Development, Learning Strategy / By /

As humans, we like to pride ourselves on basing our decision-making on probability and logic. But we’re far from computers and AI. We don’t always make the most rational decisions, nor can we explain why we’re drawn to people, things, and experiences that evoke intense emotions. This is because we’re highly emotional beings. In fact, humans base 90 percent of decisions on emotions and use logic to justify their actions to themselves and others.

Learning Strategy, Content Development / By /

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have been buzzwords for decades, but these technologies are still relatively new in education. However, they have all the characteristics necessary to revolutionize the learning experience. Educational institutions and educators may worry that the costs of implementing VR/AR are too high to take the risk. Indeed, these technologies might require well-thought-out planning and significant investment, but their benefits justify this venture.

Designing for Accessibility: How to Ensure Inclusive Learning Experiences for All

Learning Strategy, Content Development / By /

Sometimes, it can be easy to get carried away when designing an L&D course or platform, thinking that every learner has the same capabilities. This assumption can lead L&D professionals to expect that people will understand their methods and materials and that how they present it technically isn’t as important as the content itself. However, this is not the best approach and makes the learning experience less accessible and inclusive.
