Gen-AI

This month’s questions include best practices for creating content/courses; RFPs/RFIs, Relevance of Learning in 2026. Q: We are new to creating courses and see the terms you use – “content creator” and what others use “authoring tools.” Is there a difference? We have a lot of videos we want to use as separate courses –…

We deal with trends. Not a learning system nor tech alone. Not due to tech stacks either. I’m talking about day-to-day life. I had a trend occur just over a week ago. An accident, fall if you will, with the probability that I would hit my head, and score another concussion (which would have been…

This isn’t going to be a pleasant post for some. I am going to get comments that are “How dare you,” “Who else can I ask,” “Just seeking input and what business is it of yours,” and other favorable, err, unfavorable statements. Some people are going to be irritated. There will be CEOs from some…

I was curious to know who the first person was to say, “Happy New Year.” I reached out to GPT-4 and learned that nobody really knows (bummer), and that it was celebrated over 2,000 years ago, but nobody said that wordage, and that it was tied to the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. Considering that…

In the coming weeks, you will learn the Gen-AI terminology you need to know, with definitions (also available as a download in the learning library), and the latest learning technology/systems worth a few eyeballs. Plus, “Product Spotlight” covers one learning system that I dive into with lots of gusto – basically, it is a re-branded…

You may have noticed my dear friend as the cover image. That’s because this is also the Halloween Edition. I didn’t want to scare you off, after all, these are my forecasts (okay the ones you get to see) for 2025. I always keep several back, for clients – Jack is one of them, Nosferatu…

I don’t know about you, but I remember you from my first job. I was 16 years old. I was hired by a department chain (name not to be released because they are out of business now, and I can’t fully recall it). Rather than placing me into the music section, a dream for any 16-year-old,…

Last week, I attended a conference in Amsterdam. The conference? World of AI Summit (as in Artificial Intelligence). While, as with any conference, there were good sessions, especially the opening sessions in the morning, I was a bit surprised at how many of the speakers never addressed a couple of points, including the “what happens…

I suspect it is similar to other sports around the world. Whereas one player is selected/signed for one position on the team, then the team decides they want them to be at another position. The problem though is that the person has never played that position before. What happens then? Well, the player agrees to…

Before diving into the topic this week, you probably realized that you haven’t seen any posts in the last two weeks. There is a reason for that, for those who were unaware. In the cliff notes version it goes like this – I suffered a near-drowning episode at the end of July, which admittingly I…
