This article provides a practical guide for Learning and Development professionals on how to discuss integrating AI in eLearning with their leadership. The key focus is on addressing the concerns of leadership and demonstrating the benefits of AI through pilot programs.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to redefine the boundaries of various sectors, and the realm of eLearning is no exception. Given its potential to facilitate personalized and immersive learning experiences, AI integration in eLearning will soon be transforming the industry at an unprecedented pace. Let’s take a look at the real-world applications of AI, focusing on enhancing self-paced eLearning. To set the stage, consider a typical self-paced learning module. These modules allow learners to proceed through content at their own speed, promoting flexibility and catering to the individual learning preferences to some extent. However, the traditional approach can sometimes lack dynamic interaction, real-time feedback, and personalization. While good instructional design can alleviate a lot of these issues, some of these, such as real-time feedback, are technical limitations of the modality. This is where AI, particularly generative AI like ChatGPT, can make a huge difference.

The core material of this workshop is based on a behavioral and communication model called DISC. Understanding the personality styles of your team members, prospects, customers, boss, direct reports, clients (and even family members and friends) will improve your effectiveness twenty-five percent and help people buy into your requests as well as improve your understanding of others.  

We are now truly starting to understand how the learner learns, scientists now know for sure how our brain works and its these advances in the brain sciences that should "shape" how we design and deliver training to our learners.  

How do you ensure that employees skills are constantly, steadily developed in ways that are aligned to your company's values? Extend onboarding past the first weeks of a new employee's tenure and build a continuous onboarding or "everboarding" experience!  

This webinar will teach the value of developing self-awareness and how to coach to self-awareness that will promote learning as well as leveraging training. An estimated that 85% of people significantly lack self-awareness. Self-awareness is at the foundation Of how people receive training as well as coaching.  

Cybersecurity training has quickly and quietly become a mainstay for required training programs at many organizations. As more employees find their jobs require some form of technology and data management, the need for proper training on how to keep company records safe becomes apparent. One industry estimate claims that the average employee in the US maintains 70 to 80 passwords for various systems throughout the course of their job. Without proper vigilance, it seems like only a matter of time before there is an exposure to a data breach. Complicating this issue is the strategy around learning objectives for cybersecurity training. Because it is so commonly viewed as an annual event, and so much of it is a refresher, engagement with the material is stereotypically low. Learning leaders should pay attention to strategy here. If training feels like a simple box-checking exercise that lacks meaningful updates or is delivered in a rote style, their employees are likely not to retain the information. Data and system architects can only do so much. Every employee with access to systems with sensitive data is inherently playing a role in safeguarding that data. And, just as the technology is always changing to maintain that security against new and developing threats, so too should the training efforts. In this eBook, we focus on how organizations can update their strategy to deliver more engaging and effective cybersecurity training. Topics include: Avoiding routine delivery Industries with specific challenges in cybersecurity training Creating conversations on best practices Tracking certifications in the LMS Understanding the costs of doing nothing

Exceptional learning leaders are acutely aware of the importance of how learning and development is viewed, utilized, and measured in an organization. Often, they must act as a strategist, sales consultant, and publicity agent for the learning programs they create. Getting and keeping buy-in from the necessary stakeholders in an organization is crucial to sustainable L&D programs. Ensuring that learning programs are relevant to the company’s reality requires an ongoing dialog with the key stakeholders. This eBook examines recurring goals, concerns, and opportunities that often show up with typical roles in the organization. We also break down ways to communicate the value of L&D that may ring true for them. (This eBook is the third of a 3-part series that examines the early and middle and ongoing stages of using an LMS and the roles that stakeholders in learning can play in the process.) In this eBook, we look at commonly recurring roles in many organizations, their viewpoint on learning and development programs, and how to get stakeholder buy-in on learning. Topics include: Aligning programs to broader, organizational goals How to sell L&D plans to the C-suite Appealing to line managers Engaging employees in learning objectives

Are ChatGPT and all the other rapidly emerging AI engines the new life-blood of presentation creation or are they a death knell? Maybe they will be both! 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.  

Creating and updating a resilient learning strategy requires ongoing attention and care. Thoughtful learning leaders are in constant pursuit of ways to create "stickiness" around L&D. They look to make learning opportunities that serve both the learner and the broader goals of the organization. As these programs mature, strategy takes center stage when considering possible refinements, measurements, and advanced and nuanced programs. Well-designed L&D programs can do amazing things for employee engagement levels as they welcome opportunities to develop skills and knowledge. Learning initiatives are always evolving, like a flowing river. What worked for a company a year ago may no longer be the most effective approach due to changing goals, conditions, and methodology. Ensuring that learning programs are relevant to the company’s reality requires an ongoing dialog with the key stakeholders. This eBook dives into common experiences that learning leaders may have as their learning programs mature. (This eBook is the second of a 3-part series that examines the early and middle and ongoing stages of using an LMS and the roles that stakeholders in learning can play in the process.) In this eBook, we look at ways that learning leaders might adjust their learning strategy around development, deployment, and measurement as their programs mature. Topics include: Assessment of 1st year L&D goals Gathering feedback Crafting a plan for ongoing content acquisition Utilizing subject matter experts Program alignment

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. Unfortunately, program owners often face challenges to deliver results that executives appreciate and understand.
