"The Learning and Development (L&D) industry has gone through an enormous transformation. In the early years, the challenge was simple: there weren't enough tools, platforms, or digital skills to make learning accessible. Today, the problem is the complete opposite: there's an abundance of everything. Platforms, simulators, Learning Experience Systems (LXPs), Artificial Intelligence (AI), gamified apps, immersive Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) environments, microlearning, adaptive learning, blended formats... you name it, we have it."
"I see it in daily conversations with clients. There's a growing pressure to be modern, to be innovative, to show that "we're doing something digital." I often hear: "We need AI," "We want VR," "We're looking for something cutting-edge." Sometimes, these words come long before anyone defines a single learning goal. This technological buzz can be intoxicating. It creates the illusion that the newer and flashier, the better."
Organizations now face an abundance of learning technologies and formats after decades of digital transformation in Learning and Development. Early constraints of limited tools have been replaced by platforms, simulators, LXPs, AI, gamified apps, VR/AR, microlearning, adaptive and blended formats. Many organizations struggle to choose appropriate solutions amid pressure to appear modern, often seeking AI or VR before defining learning goals. Technological novelty can create illusions of value; high-tech solutions do not fix weak processes or guarantee motivation. Effective learning requires clear goals, selective choices, and reflection to ensure technology serves meaningful instructional and organizational needs.
