Most webinars and virtual sessions are content dumps. We try hard to accomplish a lot of ideas within a very limited time. To add interactions and engagement, we resort to breakout sessions, polls, and/or chatting -- just to add interaction. However,meaningful and insightful conversations are absent. Therefore, deep learning and reflections are missing.   

Everyone wants to go micro and many of us have already done so. But going micro is more than just delivering bite-sized content. There are many different use cases and formats for microlearning, so everyone says they’re using microlearning, but they are all doing something vastly different.

Join in on this first look at how AI will impact our workflow as presentationists: how it can assist in research, photo search, fleshing out of content, and actual building of slides. Soon, you might not be able to tell if a human authored those slides and nobody really knows if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  

Today, more than ever, there is a need to ensure that virtual learning works to improve organizational outcomes. This requires program owners to design virtual learning with desired outcomes in mind to deliver results—and demonstrate that they do.

Chat GPT has become wildly popular but you can get burned. Discover how to use Chat GPT (and Microsoft’s Copilot) responsibly to save time without making all your content sound "GPT-bland.".  

Most development tools are designed with primarily linear content in mind. It's often possible to create nonlinear or branching content, but that isn't the primary purpose of the tool. That means building branching scenarios can be clunky, cumbersome, and time consuming. What if you had a tool that was designed just for creating branching scenarios?  

ChatGPT, Open AI, Language processing - these are all trendy buzzwords, but the truth is that the technology is here to stay. The good part is, you don’t have to be technical to reap the benefits of this technology, you just need to follow a few simple guidelines.
