In our latest Learning Expert Spotlight, Danielle shares her perspective on values-driven leadership, navigating speed and complexity, creating meaningful behavior change, and what learning leaders should be paying attention to next.

Employees are balancing meetings, emails, deadlines, customer needs, and everything else competing for their attention. Learning has to fit into that reality.

In our Andrew Marsula’s latest article, explore how L&D teams can better respect learner time by focusing on what truly needs to be taught, designing around real work patterns, and making space for meaningful practice.

Could AI be creating the illusion of expertise?

AI can help learners produce polished work, but a strong output doesn’t always mean true understanding has developed.
In this article, Lydia Elliott, EdD, explores “cognitive bypass,” what happens when AI takes over the very thinking learners need to build expertise. She also shares practical ways L&D professionals can preserve productive struggle, strengthen judgment, and assess reasoning rather than just the final product.

As AI becomes more integrated into learning, the question isn’t simply whether we use it. It’s how we make sure meaningful learning still happens.

AI can generate outputs. It cannot generate the judgment that emerges from experience, productive struggle, reflection, and feedback.
