AI and online learning often focus on the individual, but there are huge gains to be had from social learning – if it’s done right! In this episode, Graeme and Luke give Stefan (whose work centers around social learning experience design) a good grilling. They challenge him to explain why learning with – and from – a group of peers can boost your learners’ levels of comprehension and retention! How do you do it right? And how can you motivate learners to care? We answer these questions and share real examples where we’ve done it!

This time, we got the opportunity to speak to learning strategist Dr Ashwin Mehta and ask the big, slightly panicked question: is AI about to blow up the learning industry – or will it just transform it? From personalised pathways to AI facilitators, we explore what’s certain, what’s uncertain, and what might be quietly replacing your job. You'll get direct questions, blunt answers, and a very insightful episode!

Luke and Stefan hit the floor at Learning Tech 2025 – mic in hand, curiosity turned up. We gather hot-takes, dodge buzzwords, and ask what problems attendees actually want to solve with the latest developments in learning technology. Plus, our CPO Anna Lloyd gives her view on what’s shifted – and what’s still stuck – since last year.
