Welcome to the Fabulous Learning Nerds! On this week's episode, we are excited to have Richard Vass, a learning technology expert from ELB Learning, join us to discuss the topic of AI vs Adaptive Training - what we should know NOW as learning pros.

Richard will share insights on how to use AI-based tools to gather data, and how to ensure that a blended adaptive/AI learning experience remains relevant and effective over time. He'll also cover when to use AI-based tools to help gather data about learners' engagement, performance, and preferences.
