Generative AI

There are two types of learning systems. I’m not talking about an LMS, LXP, combo, TDP, or EXP (drop the name on that), learning platform, or “We are not an LMS, and anyway, they are a dying breed” (I’ve written that is far from true). What I am referring to, is commercial or in-house. In-house…

By Jeff Maggioncalda, Coursera CEO I’m delighted to present Coursera’s sixth annual Global Skills Report, a trusted resource for leaders and institutions worldwide to understand the rapidly transforming skills landscape. The report draws on data and insights from our global learning community—including over 148 million learners and 7,000 institutional customers—and content from 325 of the…

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…

“Hey everyone! As dad’s favorite dog (according to me), I’m back to announce the nominations and winners for this year’s Turkey Awards. Did I mention I’m number one? Spirit always takes over these awards, and Voodoo is on a walk, plus Nava (our newest member is busy chewing on dad’s shoes), so it is me,…

I love AI and where it can go.   However, let’s not forget it is at the infant stage. Thus, relying on it as the savior for all your tasks to be handled formally by your employees could be opening up the flood gates due to the current flaws in every LLM. The latest information, research,…

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…

I wrote this article on LinkedIn, and heard from a lot of people who said I should repost it on my blog, for those folks who either do not follow, nor are aware of some of the stuff I post on my thread. The article focuses on what you may have heard – which sadly…

Way too many companies think that L&D will put together a plan, and then provide learning to their employees in a quick fashion. They ignore that it takes time. Planning. Strategy. Rollout, and the list goes on. With generative AI, companies are adding it without truly investigating its impact, not just now, but down the…

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…

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…
