Authenticity vs Automation: The Future of Great eLearning Design
Great eLearning is not created by tools or templates. It is created by understanding people.
In this session, Shane Traill builds on his previous work exploring how to create great digital learning experiences and takes the conversation further into the realities of today’s AI-driven world. Drawing on over 20 years of designing bespoke eLearning for global organisations, sports bodies and education providers, he will share how authenticity, creativity and real human insight can significantly increase learner engagement and motivation.
Through practical examples, Shane will show how understanding context, challenges and audience mindset leads to more relevant, distinctive and effective learning. The session will also explore how AI is changing content production and why the future of great eLearning design lies in balancing automation with genuine experience design that learners actually connect with.
