AI Is Changing How We Build Learning. But Is It Changing How People Actually Learn? Courses get completed. Assessments get passed. And performance gaps remain. The problem isn’t access to learning — it’s what happens during the learning experience. When learners passively click through training, very little changes. The content was delivered. But was anything actually learned?
The difference between learning that sticks and learning that doesn’t comes down to one critical factor: Self-Regulated Learning (SRL).
SRL is what high performers do naturally — they set goals, monitor their own understanding, and actively adapt what they know to what they do. The good news? SRL doesn’t have to be left to chance. It can be deliberately designed into your eLearning and microlearning experiences.
What You’ll Learn
In this webinar, Dr. Howard B. Lewis walks through how to move beyond content delivery and design experiences that actively support learner thinking, adaptation, and real-world performance.
Using a Tale of Two Teams scenario, you’ll see how two nearly identical onboarding programs can produce dramatically different performance outcomes — and exactly what instructional design choices make the difference.
You’ll leave with practical, evidence-based techniques to build SRL into your designs, including:
- Goal-setting prompts that give learners focus and direction from the start
- Decision-based scenarios that drive active engagement and real application
- Built-in monitoring and feedback that allow learners to adjust in real time
- Reflection and transfer strategies that extend the impact beyond the module
You’ll also explore where AI fits in — not as a shortcut that does the thinking for learners, but as a genuine learning partner supporting goal setting, feedback, and on-the-job performance.
Who This Is For
If you design learning experiences and want them to go beyond completion rates to deliver measurable performance impact, this session is for you.
By the End of This Session, You’ll Know:
- What Self-Regulated Learning means in the context of eLearning and microlearning design
- Why SRL drives performance improvement, not just engagement
- A practical framework for embedding SRL into digital learning experiences
- How to design decision-based scenarios that activate learner thinking
- Techniques for integrating SRL into microlearning and hybrid environments
- How AI can function as a real-time learning coach — without replacing learner effort
- Actionable design strategies you can apply immediately
