AI can accelerate course development, helping you organize content, generate text, and create visuals. But without a clear framework, it’s easy to use AI incorrectly or produce content that misses the mark. This often leads to generic courses, inconsistent quality, and questions about the author's academic integrity.
This session will show you how to use AI as a support for your decisions — not a replacement.

Frontline staff often learn on the job — helping customers and figuring things out as they go. It works, but without quick access to information, even small questions can cause delays. Add in constant updates spread across different channels, and it becomes hard to keep up. For managers, this lack of structure turns training into a daily challenge.

During the webinar, Karina Wolf, iSpring Tech Support Engineer, will guide you through advanced content development in PowerPoint and iSpring Suite so you can start creating unique and impactful eLearning experiences on your own.
