Future Ready Skills
Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in the instructional design sector, being a key component in all business processes carried out by Learning and Development (L&D) teams. Surprisingly, more than 60% of AI tools used in the learning industry are underutilized. This is like having a superpower and not using it. There is no fun in that. Unlock your superpower and gain relevant skills for today and tomorrow.

Being the go to person for AI within L&D or I.D. is like having a super power. - Dr. George Hanshaw
