It’s that time of year when folks flock to trade shows like LTUK and ATD. A quick perusal of exhibitors shows many with some form of AI. AI video creators. AI transformation of content. AI is everywhere in these shows—powering scenarios, skill development, and more. To help you cut through the noise and ask the…

There are two parts to this story. First, EdTech stands for educational technology, which refers to online learning in higher education and K-12/primary education. It has never meant to represent corporate, despite vendors and some of my fellow analysts thinking otherwise. Secondly, vendors in the EdTech sector (and there are those who play corporate too)…

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…
