E-Learning Lane with Brady Licht
E-Learning Lane is a short-form podcast about educational technology, learning design, and training. Each episode takes on a single question, from LMS configuration and assessment design to the politics of EdTech adoption and AI in the workplace. Episodes are recorded on the go, so the audio is informal and occasionally rough around the edges. That's by design. The goal is honest thinking about real problems, not polished production.
