Hot off the press! My final long-form piece for the LearningGuild Talking about L&D practitioners in an AI world. What if "instructional designer" isn't what the future holds for you?

In an article for ArsTechnica you made a great point about the fact that we’re so focused on AI for productivity we are missing that it may make the difference for someone being able to do something at all.
AI & accessibility
@benjedwards.com Hi-- quoting you in an upcoming report for @learningguild.bsky.social and wanted to connect. See that you're in Raleigh --I'm in Durham. Hello.
Prime Day shoppers? Please consider picking up a few things for Toys for Tots. They get lots of toys for little ones but not so much for older kids and teens, so welcome art supplies, sports equipment, manicure and makeup sets, and craft kits. Thank you!

You said this was "training" on the invite, but I haven't learned anything, so it's really just a meeting.
Just got around to reading Sam Altman's latest missive, "The Gentle Singularity."
I am astounded by his sheer amount of denial and self-delusion about the current state of the actually-existing world.

Good night, y'all. Headed out soon for the @canadianelearning.bsky.social (where I'll get to see @tracyparish.bsky.social, hooray!) and hope to see some of you there! #Learnchat
LET'S WRAP THIS UP!
Thanks for being part of tonight’s fast-flowing chat. Any last thoughts, resources, or plugs to share with the #LearnChat group?
And share what you know. Don't just save everything to C:

A6) I don’t want to change the default from courses to workflow learning.
I want there not to be a default solution at all.
#LearnChat
Q5) Think of a moment you didn’t even realize you were learning—until later. What made that moment so seamless and effective? #LearnChat
Q4) What role does AI play in supporting or derailing flow-based learning? Have you seen any smart uses—or misuses—so far? #LearnChat
Love “miranda org” #learnchat
Thanks! #learnchat
Lol
That's one of the reasons the videos are annoying. If I'm trying to figure something out when I'm in the middle of working, I want to read the steps quickly, not watch a 5 minute video that reminds me to subscribe to the channel. #LearnChat
CLIPPY, people. #learnchat
Agreed. #learnchat
Can I do it again tomorrow? Would that be “learning”?#learnchat
Q2) How can we design workplace learning that feels like a feature, not an interruption? Any tools, formats, or vibes that help? #LearnChat

How much do you hate @ticketmaster.com ?
In what may be my best Freudian slip ever, an email I wrote yesterday mentioned “learning objections”. Oops. OBJECTIVES. I meant learning OBJECTIVES. #LandD #ID #learnchat
