Designing eLearning That Drives Performance: The Power of Self-Regulated Learning in the AI Era
AI is accelerating how we create and deliver eLearning and microlearning – but not necessarily how people learn.
Learners complete courses, pass assessments, and move on… yet performance gaps persist. The issue isn’t access to learning, but what happens during the learning experience.
If learners passively click through training, what has actually improved?
The difference comes down to a single critical factor: Self-Regulated Learning (SRL).
Self-Regulated Learning is what high-performers do – set goals, monitor their understanding, adjust and apply what they learn.
And the good news? SRL doesn’t have to be left to chance. It can be intentionally designed into eLearning and microlearning experiences.
In this webinar, Dr. Howard B. Lewis will show how to move beyond content delivery and design learning experiences that actively support learners' thinking, adaptation, and performance.
Through a “Tale of Two Teams” scenario, you’ll see how two similar onboarding programs can lead to very different performance outcomes and how smart instructional design choices make the difference.
You’ll explore practical, evidence-based techniques to build SRL, including:
- Goal-setting prompts that create focus and direction
- Decision-based scenarios that drive engagement and application
- Built-in monitoring and feedback that enable real-time adjustment
- Reflection and transfer strategies that extend learning beyond the module
You’ll also look at how AI fits as a learning partner – supporting goal setting, feedback, on-the-job performance – without doing the thinking for learners.
If you are looking to design learning experiences that go beyond completion and deliver measurable performance impact – this session is for you!
By the end of this webinar, conducted by CommLab, attendees will be able to:
- What Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) means in eLearning and microlearning design
- Why SRL is essential for improving performance, not just engagement
- A practical framework for embedding SRL in digital learning experiences
- How to design decision-based scenarios that activate learner thinking
- Techniques for integrating SRL into microlearning and hybrid learning environments
- How AI can support self-regulated learning as a real-time learning coach
- Actionable design strategies you can apply immediately
