ATD26 made one thing clear: learning is evolving, but the fundamentals still matter. More than 10,000 talent development professionals gathered to discuss AI, performance improvement, leadership, and the future of workplace learning.

One theme rose above the noise: as technology advances, human-centered learning becomes even more important.

In his latest blog, "Rethinking eLearning After ATD26: What We Saw, Heard, and Believe Comes Next," Christopher Allen shares key insights from the conference, including:

✅ Why performance matters more than completion rates
✅ How AI should accelerate great design, not replace it
✅ The five principles that define effective eLearning
✅ Why learning experiences must move beyond content delivery
✅ What L&D leaders should prioritize right now

Perhaps the biggest takeaway?

Organizations don't need more content. They need learning experiences that help people think, decide, act, and perform more effectively on the job. The fundamentals of great learning design haven't changed. We simply have better tools to bring them to life.

Every great designer has a notebook. Some are filled with sketches. Some are packed with ideas. Ours happens to be full of eLearning best practices.

The eLearning Designer's Notebook combines research, theory, and real-world guidance to help learning professionals create more engaging and effective training experiences. You'll also find valuable excerpts from Dr. Michael Allen's Rethinking eLearning: What works. What doesn't. What's missing.

Because designing great learning isn't just about sharing information. It's about helping people perform, grow, and succeed.
