A Day In The Life Of A Learning Experience Designer In 2027 | EdTech Talks EP2

What does the role of a learning experience designer look like just two years from now? Picture this: you log in at 9 am, and your AI copilot has already drafted scenario-based learning paths while you slept. A compliance bot has auto-updated your modules. Your digital twin is testing experiences with learner avatars in the background. By 10am, all that’s left is choosing which version to publish.
But is this the dream scenario—or a dystopian nightmare?
In this candid session, we’ll explore:
- How AI could transform (or overwhelm) daily workflows for LXDs
- What parts of the job automation might enhance vs. strip away
- Why creativity, strategy, and storytelling will matter more than ever
- What skills today’s designers need to future-proof their careers
Your guides for this conversation are Lori Niles-Hofmann (EdTech AI strategist and author), Jack Houghton (Co-founder & CPO at Mindset AI), and special guest Kirstie Greany (Head of Learning Strategy at Elucidat and host of Learning at Large). Together, they’ll cut through the hype, share honest takes on what’s coming, and debate whether 2027 will be the golden age of learning design—or a complete rewire of the role.
Spoiler alert: This webinar room will be full of take-with-you resources on top of the great discussion. So why not invite a colleague?
