It was a great opportunity to talk about how we’re using AI-powered tools and localization to create high-quality, interactive training for our global workforce, cutting course development time nearly in half while maintaining the standards our learners and the business depend on.
As L&D professionals in a highly regulated industry, we’re constantly being asked to do more with less. Finding tools that support efficiency without compromising quality is a win for our teams and ultimately for patient outcomes.
Learning from your peers is the best way to be effective at your job. I have been leading learning communities in my previous roles because collaboration makes you a stronger professional. See examples of the learning communities I have led:
As a Director of Education Technology at William James College, I identified during my learning ecosystem analysis that there was a need for basic computer literacy. I wanted to make sure to contribute to that need, but I wanted to keep it separate from my actual responsibilities in the Education Technology Department. So, I created a led the "Engaging with Technology" Affinity Group to share regular tips in an MS space as well as lead regular virtual sessions to help the community learn more about using technology for collaboration and productivity.
I sent out a survey to find out what topics where of interest to the community and that is how I began the selection of topics for the affinity group.
As an Education Training Specialist and later as the Interim Manager of Learning Design and Technology at Harvard Medical School, I participate in three communities of practice:
Co-Chair of the Harvard Learning Design Affinity Group
Member of the Local Creators Network (LCN)
Member of the Harvard Training Portal Local Administrators for Longwood Medical Area
