From 10% Course Completion to 87% in 90 Days

True story from my time managing enterprise learning systems:

The problem? Required training was being ignored. Leadership was frustrated. Compliance was at risk.

We didn't add more reminders. We didn't mandate it harder.

We did this:

1️⃣ Analyzed WHERE learners were dropping off

2️⃣ Interviewed 20 employees about their actual workflow

3️⃣ Redesigned delivery for mobile-first access

4️⃣ Chunked content into workflow-integrated moments

5️⃣ Removed every unnecessary click

The content barely changed. The delivery changed everything.

Sometimes the problem isn't engagement. It's friction.

AI in EdTech: What's Actually Working vs. What's Hype

After 90 days of testing AI tools in learning technology, here's my honest assessment:

Working well:

  • Content outlining and ideation

  • Accessibility improvements (alt text, transcripts)

  • Personalized learning path suggestions

  • Administrative task automation

Still overhyped:

  • Full course generation (quality is inconsistent)

  • Replacing instructional designers (not even close)

  • Assessment creation (requires heavy human oversight)

The sweet spot? AI as your co-pilot, not your autopilot.

It amplifies good instructional design. It doesn't replace it.

What AI tools are you actually using in your L&D work?

The Real Cost of a Poor LMS Migration

After managing LMS implementations across 5,000+ learners in multiple countries, I've seen organizations make the same critical mistake: focusing on the technology instead of the learners.

Here's what actually matters:

✅ Data integrity mapping (not just "can we export?")

✅ User adoption strategy (before launch, not after)

✅ Content compatibility testing (every. single. SCORM package.)

✅ Communication cadence (over-inform, then inform again)

The technical migration is 30% of the work. The change management is where success lives.

What's been your biggest LMS migration lesson? Drop it in the comments.
