Learning Design in the age of Generative AI
Donald Clark has published a very interesting blog post about how 'Learning Designers will have to adapt or die' and suggests 10 ways for them to upskill to AI. Just how AI will affect the job market has been a hot topic for discussion recently.

Hi Graham,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading your blog and following you around the Web (blog, twitter, blip, slideshare, YouTube, etc). I am interested in the British Council Teen Second Life project. Is there any way to get involved as an adult educator .. I am in EFL too, teacher and teacher trainer. My Ning is Mexico English Teachers' Alliance and I am "Salty Saenz" in adult grid Second Life where I have an EFL training facility that I have just started at SLEnglish. Here is the SLurl for META. I also have a blog The 21st Century Teacher. You can take a look at my Second Life and Google Lively Flickr photostream.
Anyway, I am very keen on jumping into the Teen grid and helping out. I work with preK through University students in Mexico.
Thanks, Frank (Salty)
