Rethinking Learning with 7taps: AI, Engagement, and Performance

What happens when AI makes creating learning content easier than ever? According to 7taps co-founder Ezra Charm, that's when the real work of learning and development begins. In this episode, Ezra joins the Powered by Learning team to discuss why the future of L&D is about more than creating content—it's about driving engagement, improving performance, and measuring impact. Show Notes: From the rise of the "LMS-less learner" to the role of AI in modern learning strategies, 7tap’s Ezra Charm shares why learning professionals have an opportunity to become more valuable than ever. Here are some of Ezra's top takeaways. • AI is shifting L&D's role from content creation to performance improvement. As authoring becomes easier, learning professionals can focus on driving behavior change and demonstrating business value.  • Organizations don't have a content problem—they have an engagement problem. Success depends on delivering learning when and where employees need it, not simply creating more courses.  • Learning should meet employees where they work. Today's "LMS-less learner" expects learning to be accessible on any device, in the flow of work, rather than requiring a trip back into the LMS.  • Microlearning works because it's grounded in learning science. By respecting cognitive load, spaced repetition, and mobile-first behaviors, organizations can improve retention and application.  • The future of L&D is measuring impact. Learning teams that can connect training to business outcomes will move from being viewed as cost centers to strategic business partners.
