END OF CHAPTER ONE... The Thrilling Recap

It's been 6 weeks since Hell and D launched and we're finishing up chapter 1 of Dee's battle against the demons of L&D.

We've featured some amazing articles from Dr. Asegul Hulus, Lauren Waldman, Joe Chislett, Ivonne Martin, Dr. Andrea Love-Downs, and Katarzyna Kochany, as well as hosting Sharon Claffey Kaliouby's Women in Learning: State of the Industry report.

Thanks to them, and you, our readers and subscribers, we've helped our hero, Dee, get to grips with her flaming laser pointer, AKA The Torch of Knowledge. She's successfully vanquished her first demon, The Regressor, whose purpose was to eradicate innovative learning techniques, and make all learning safe, cheap and tick-box friendly (read: dull). 

Dee has also faced off against other demons, including The Gencifer, Disarrai, and Synaptor, landing tactical first strikes against these dreaded L&D foes.

Now that she's officially passed her rookie demon-hunting phase, she can pick up the pace in the quest to find her missing mum - what has happened to the original Torchbearer, Professor of Learning, Dr Kendra Sage? Will Dee ever be reunited with her? And what unseen horrors are lurking in the dark recesses of the L&D sphere, ready to challenge our young champion?

Stay tuned for the answers, more questions, contributors new and old, plus a horde of fresh demons, as we begin chapter 2, next week!

The Day I Started To Sound Like An AI Chatbot

When people interact with courses or modules that “sound like AI”, what is the impact on the effectiveness of their learning experience?  The other day, while telling a story, I heard myself say, "But here's the kicker!" Immediately followed by a horrified pause, "Oh no, I sound like ChatGPT…”

Dealing with the Shadow Stakeholder
