Celebrating the leaders and experts that are powering education into the future, host JW Marshall sets out to ask the “right questions” in EdTech to understand the changes in policy and technology that will power our universities, tradeschools, and companies – and drive growth in upskilling certifications.

Whether it’s hiring employees, keeping them engaged, addressing their concerns or supporting their growth and development, human resources is an essential business function that helps companies succeed, ensuring that an organization gets the most out of its employees. Touching every department and every team member, the right HR personnel with the right skills can enhance an employee’s experience throughout their tenure while strengthening business operations and contributing to the bottom line.

Committed to creating inspired and informed workforces by maximizing the potential of HR professionals around the world, HR.com is the largest global social networking and resource site for HR Professionals.

On this episode of Voices of eLearning podcast, Dr. Heidi Scott, Chief Learning Officer at HR.com, joins host JW Marshall to discuss the pandemic’s effect on eLearning across the board, effective approaches to both microlearning and just-in-time learning, as well as relevant learning experiences that can help bring out the best in HR pros and drive their careers where they want to go.

“I’m beginning to see a little bit more of a finicky taste for consumers when it comes to online learning,” Scott stated. “‘Give us more than just fire-hosing for the sake of knowledge acquisition. Help me go do my job better.’ And that’s going to take some engaging, some innovative, some curiosity-peaking types of learning experiences. I think that the appetite of our culture is shifting, and I think that the trend is trending toward we—in the eLearning space and the instructional design space and the learning and development space—we’ve got to up our game.”

NYC schools require every AI tool to pass a bias and equity review before deployment

NYC schools require every AI tool to pass a bias and equity review before deployment

Twenty-nine New York City council members are demanding a two-year halt to AI use in the nation's largest school system, citing student data privacy gaps. Simultaneously, California and other states are tightening AI bias-audit requirements for employers, while educators debate a deeper question: whether AI adopted without guardrails erodes the original human thinking it is meant to support.

  • 01Twenty-nine NYC council members sent a letter on June 9, 2026, calling for a two-year AI moratorium in city schools, citing inadequate student data privacy protections in the Department of Education's drafted guidance.
  • 02California's Civil Rights Council AI regulations, effective Oct. 1, 2025, require employers using automated decision systems to retain related data for four years and face heightened litigation risk if they skip bias audits.
  • 03Educators and practitioners are wrestling with a fundamental design question: whether AI functions as a 'calculator'—executing tasks users already understand—or a 'crane' that extends human capacity into genuinely new territory.
