learning and development

I’ve written in the past about MCP (Model Context Protocol) for learning and training (via learning systems), albeit a link to a highly confusing and yet the best version of explanation on the net. MCP, which I will use going forward, is best in explanation to something everyone else can relate to. Let’s say back…

IIn October 2024, I identified what I saw/believed would be the trends to watch in 2025. However, while the year has not yet been completed, I looked into the crystals I found on the ground. You are here, I surmise, to find out what those latest trends are, and here they come, just like the…

The disruptors are not just LMS providers; they encompass a range of other learning systems. Three knowledge management platforms, not your typical LMS or two, and even an LXP. How did I go about finding these disruptors? What do I see as a disruptor versus one that isn’t? Why does Dairy Queen refuse to offer…

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?

Musings. Over the past few months, I’ve been testing different types of posts, zeroing in on multiple subjects that I find interesting, or that could be of interest, and that are definitely of value to the blog’s readers. Some I see as strong, others clearly have reached the dud level. I’ve always been a risk…

In the past month or so, I recognize and see more and more of AI and how it will become so intertwined with any type of learning system, that what you – the vendor and you – the L&D, Training, CLO, HR professionals, plus C-Suite will drastically change. The question is whether you (the latter…

I’ll admit it. I have watched the AI industry, and with daily changes and ongoings, recognized that it is nearly impossible for someone overseeing L&D, Training, or whatever department to send out this information to their employees, customers/clients, students and members. Within this information, one can see there are serious repeativeness that impacts day to…

I can’t speak for everyone, but I will say, there are plenty of us, on both sides of the aisle, who went to bed, thinking one way, and awakened thinking either the same way or not.  We all are going to have to be patient, which in this day and age, is something of a…

If you have ever been unfortunate enough to watch my Dinner with Andre, you will recall it is two people across from one another talking. That’s it. Yes, I know, Academy Award material. Anyway, this won’t be that. I met up with GPT-4 earlier this week. The sun was out for our midday discussion. GPT-4…
