The ability for content creators to create AI-assisted role-play will change things.

Udemy's recent announcement about AI-assisted development of role-play interactions caught my attention.

I perked up not just because it's a new feature, but because I think it signals a shift across the L&D ecosystem.

If (non-L&D) SMEs and instructors can build interactive practice scenarios on their own, it raises questions (and opportunities) for L&D, platforms, and instructional designers.

Too long for a post, so I put my thoughts into the carousel below.

It breaks down why I think things will shift a bit, and what it could mean for L&D.
