Faster? Cheaper? Better? Learning Design in the Age of AI

#InstructionalDesign #eLearning #LearningAndDevelopment #AI AI is changing how learning design work gets done. For years, L&D teams have been asked to create better training, faster, with fewer resources. Now, AI is adding even more pressure and possibility to that conversation. But does faster and cheaper actually mean better? In this conversation with Lars-Petter W. Kjos from ‪@We-Are-Learning‬, we explore what AI is really changing in learning design, what it is not changing, and why the human role may matter more than ever. We talk about the tension many learning professionals are feeling right now: excitement about what AI makes possible, concern about what it means for our jobs and skills, and the pressure to keep up as tools, workflows, and expectations continue to shift. We also dig into vibe coding, vibe designing, AI-generated content, accessibility, tokenomics, learner trust, and why L&D teams need to move beyond simply creating more content faster. Because the real opportunity isn’t just using AI to generate training. It’s using AI to refocus our work on better decisions, better design, and better results. ⸻ Want to create more immersive learning experiences?
