Instructional Design PDN: Lights, Camera, Learning: Strategically Integrating Video in Learning Experiences (May 06, 2026)

Lights, Camera, Learning: Strategically Integrating Video in Learning Experiences

Who remembers the feeling of relief when an A/V cart with a projector or TV rolled into your classroom? Similarly, how do our learners react when a video is included in classroom instruction, an eLearning, or as a standalone unit? They might feel “edutained” or excited for a break in the action that engages them via a different modality.

Video provides a vehicle for presenting content while telling a story or giving concepts a more concrete form. As instructional designers, we are asked to include video in our deliverables for many reasons and have plenty of tools at our fingertips. How are you building and integrating video in learning experiences?

Join the Instructional Design PDN as we explore:

Part 1: Instructional use cases for video
Part 1: Video design process
Part 2: Video creation tools and techniques (Vyond, Camtasia, Synthesia, and more)

This is part 1 of a 2-part series. Part 1 will focus on video design, and Part 2 will focus on development.

AI Governance and Building the Culture of Innovation (May 15, 2026)

Fri, 15 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

AI Governance and Building the Culture of Innovation

Learning and Development and HR leaders have a key role to play in the rollout of AI initiatives throughout the organization.

Most AI projects fail. Those that succeed share a common set of characteristics. Further, organizations who are successfully implementing AI initiatives share a common set of cultural commitments.

This session will cover:

· Why 95% of AI implementations fail (and why 5% succeed)

· Understanding the "trough of sorrow" for AI in the organization

· The key role of training in building a culture of experimentation

Meet the Speaker

John Rood is founder of Proceptual, an AI governance and training consultancy. Proceptual works with companies of all sizes to implement custom governance programs. John also teaches governance and AI literacy at Michigan State University and the University of Chicago.
