For the first time ever, there are five generations in the workplace — spanning from people who were born before World War II to the cohort of young people just entering the workforce. These generations have their own unique attitudes and beliefs that they bring to the workplace, different worldviews about technology, and even divergent approaches to learning. How does each group differ? What things motivate them? Check out JenifferStrub's article Generation V: Using Video To Help A Diverse Workforce Learn, featured as the cover article this month, to understand the best ways to reach out to each of these unique generations.
 

The last decade has seen significant advancements in Artificial Intelligence. We’ve seen Sophia, the humanoid robot who became quite a celebrity online, self-driving cars, and we even had Open AI beat players at Dota 2 video game.

An increasing number of training and development tools are integrating their analytics with AI to help them perform better. Read more on this in Angela White's How AI Is Helping Better Training And Development.

Moving on there is The Changing Role Of Modern LMS As An Intelligent Performance Management System by AnubhaGoel, where the author talks about the factors driving the scope of online training platforms to bridge skills-gaps.
