Learning teams are being asked to create content that looks increasingly polished and production-ready. But in many organizations, the people creating that content are still relatively small teams balancing strategy, development, reviews, updates, and delivery all at once. That expectation gap feels like a growing part of the L&D conversation right now. The standard for learning content keeps rising, but the time and resources behind it do not always rise with it.

Creating training content is one thing. Managing the reviews, edits, recordings, visual assets, and stakeholder feedback around it is usually the part that slows teams down. Tomorrow, instructional designer Dani Watkins will walk through the process she uses with ScreenPal + Canva to create polished training content from planning through final delivery. If your team is balancing increasing content expectations with limited time and resources, this session will offer a practical look at how one instructional designer approaches that process day to day. 📅 May 28 🔗 Register here: https://zurl.co/lhQ0N

One thing that stood out at ATD last week: learning teams are spending just as much time maintaining content as they are creating it. Not just building courses, but updating videos, revising slides, managing feedback, and keeping training current without rebuilding everything every time something changes. That’s a big part of why so many people stopped by to see Slides to Video at our booth. A lot of the conversations we had were less about producing more content and more about making ongoing updates and maintenance more realistic for lean teams. It feels like the operational side of learning content is becoming a much bigger focus across L&D. What part of content updates takes your team the longest today?

A lot of training content becomes outdated faster than teams can realistically maintain it. Not because the information changes dramatically. Because even small updates often require reopening projects, re-recording sections, re-exporting files, and manually updating content across systems. That maintenance burden adds up quickly, especially for smaller learning teams.

Wrapping up ATD this year, one thing that stood out in so many conversations at our booth was how much the learning content conversation has shifted from simply creating content to maintaining it over time. Keeping training current, managing revisions efficiently, and repurposing existing materials without rebuilding everything came up again and again throughout the event. It was really interesting hearing how different teams are approaching those challenges in practice and where so many workflows are continuing to evolve. We had a great time connecting with so many thoughtful people across the L&D community this week! 💙

A lot of conversations happening at ATD right now are centered around scalable content creation and video workflows for L&D teams. Next week, instructional designer Dani Watkins will share a practical workflow for creating polished training content with ScreenPal + Canva, from planning through final delivery.

ATD begins this weekend, and conversations across instructional design and L&D continue to evolve alongside growing demand for scalable, engaging learning content. As video becomes a larger part of modern learning workflows, topics like workflow efficiency, AI-assisted production, and sustainable content development are becoming increasingly important across the industry. We're looking forward to connecting with the L&D community at ATD this year. #ATD26 #InstructionalDesign #LearningAndDevelopment

We're excited to be heading to ATD 2026 this weekend in Los Angeles. As conversations around instructional design, scalable learning content, and AI-assisted workflows continue to evolve, we’re looking forward to connecting with learning and L&D professionals across the industry. If you’ll be attending ATD, stop by Booth #2239 to see Slides to Video in action, explore video workflows for learning teams, connect with the ScreenPal team, and enter our World Cup LEGO trophy giveaway.

Instructional design roles continue to evolve far beyond course development. Today’s learning teams are often expected to manage visual design, video creation, editing, and content delivery all within increasingly compressed timelines. As video becomes more embedded in workplace learning, the role itself is becoming increasingly cross-functional. That shift is changing how learning content gets planned, created, and maintained at scale. It feels like the expectations around instructional design have changed significantly over the last few years. What shifts are you seeing most across your teams?

Video creation expectations across L&D continue to increase. For instructional designers, the challenge is often not the content itself. It’s the workflow surrounding it: disconnected tools, production bottlenecks, revision cycles, and increasing pressure to create polished learning experiences faster. On May 28, Dani Watkins joins ScreenPal for a live session showing how Canva + ScreenPal supports more streamlined learning content workflows from planning and visual design through final delivery. Attendees will see practical approaches for: • simplifying video production workflows • repurposing existing learning materials • reducing production friction 🔗 Register here: https://zurl.co/BjaBs
