SUMMARY:Learning and Development Roundtable - From Generic to Genius: Leveraging AI to customize your learning
DESCRIPTION:  \nLeaving time for learning\, let alone digging into learning that fits you and truly lands\, can feel exhausting … before you even get started. You invest time and money into a workshop\, a conference\, an online course\, a podcast\, etc.\, etc\,  and still wonder if it will make any difference.  Will you actually learn anything useful? \nOne-size-fits-all training often misses the mark. Different roles. Different skill levels. Different motivations. And somehow\, we’re expected to learn in a way that works for everyone. \nEnter AI. \nArtificial Intelligence is everywhere in the conversation right now. But beyond the buzzwords and bold promises\, how can you actually use AI in practical\, ethical\, and effective ways to create customized learning for yourself? \nIn this interactive and engaging Learning and Development Roundtable\, we’ll explore how to use AI as a powerful partner in designing more personalized and engaging learning for you. \nThis session will be practical\, engaging\, and immediately useful.  \nJoin us to explore how customized learning powered by AI can move from concept to capability. Just imagine what could shift if your learning solutions truly met you where you’re at. \nIn this free workshop with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan\, on April 16th you’ll:\n\nLeave with fresh ideas and greater confidence in using AI to enhance your learning rather than overwhelm it.\nExplore twelve relevant and timely AI tools to pick from that suit you best.\nUncover my simple bonus tool to help you determine which AI tools work best for you so you don’t waste your time.\nGain access to 13+ years of Learning and Development Roundtable resources \nCount the workshop towards your annual UN professional development (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend\, any and all are welcome) \n\nRSVP using this link by April 14th.
