Webinar: Navigating the Learning Content Landscape with Artificial Intelligence
Webinar: Navigating the Learning Content Landscape with Artificial Intelligence
If there’s one thing that’s prevalent in today’s eLearning ecosystem, it comes down to one word: options. The sheer amount of options in regard to technologies that can help learning professionals support corporate training efforts is astounding. Similarly, L&D professionals have also seen an explosion of different content offerings and mediums, making digital learning today more dynamic, engaging, and relevant than ever.
Having choices is liberating, but it can also be overwhelming. Thankfully, artificial intelligence (AI) offers an innovative way to navigate the content landscape. By capturing and leveraging learner data, AI is able to suggest relevant content to learners based on what courses they’ve already taken and where their interests lie. In this way, AI is able to provide a more personalized and, therefore, engaging learning experience for users.
Join EdCast and eThink Education for a live webinar for a live webinar on October 4th at 10a PT / 1p ET to learn how artificial intelligence has revolutionized the way learners engage with content. During the session, we will explore:
- The current state of the eLearning ecosystem – tools, strategies, and functionality to consider
- The importance of a best-of-breed strategy in regard to content and technologies
- How to navigate the learning content landscape and provide personalized learning using artificial intelligence
- How the Learning Management System and Learning Experience Platform combine to provide an enhanced learning experience

EdCast’s Learning Experience Platform and the Enterprise’s Need for Customization
EdCast’s Learning Experience Platform and the Enterprise Need for Customization
Henry Ford once said, “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.” This was obviously said in the early days of the automobile industry when car makers had a lot of leverage on car design and buyers had limited say, as there were very few options available.
Back then the Japanese car makers highlighted another way of making cars using concepts of lean manufacturing. This allowed for cars to be produced faster, with a high level of variety (in color and other features) and with higher quality.
Over time, Ford realized the need to switch over and embraced the concept of lean manufacturing (Also Read- Ford Product System initiated in 1995). Now Ford offers more diversity in their line of cars than most car makers.
Today, Enterprise users want a personalized and branded experience with differentiated customization options for their Learning Experience Platform (LXP).
The extent of the customization is not limited to colors, but also having the company’s brand and identity truly represented in all aspects of the product – from how content feeds work, to how they are named, to how they are laid out.
At EdCast, we focus on the mindset of our user, and offer innumerous customization options to the user, which are out of the box features that an EdCast user (or administrator) can tweak. The customizations that we offer to our end-users are really features that we see as must-haves for our enterprise customers and are maintained as features, so that scaling with EdCast is never an issue.”
We know that our LXP customers understand their company and want to manage their own internal brand. They also want to associate with companies that are deemed leaders and ones that have a healthy brand presence that they can associate with. We enable both. Not only do we provide a completely customizable product which can be branded based on the enterprise’s needs, but also invest in managing the EdCast brand in a way that teams want to associate with.
The complete learning experience is one that is customized for the audience as opposed to a standard experience that has a one-size-fits-all mindset.
