Shift From Content Creation To Capability Building The skills gap in the workforce is no longer a future problem. A growing number of organizations lack the talent capacity to execute on their priorities. Only 5% of Canadian hiring managers say they have both the headcount and the skilled talent required to deliver on high-priority projects. The same survey of 1500 hiring managers found that 57% report skills gaps within their teams, and 58% say those gaps have worsened over the past year. More than half say finding qualified talent has become more difficult, with AI contributing to the challenge by…

Colleges originally had two years to implement the new rule. Photo illustration by Justin Morrison/Inside Higher Ed | ojoel/iStock/Getty Images Citing heavy administrative burdens for institutions, the government is giving colleges, universities and other public entities another year to comply with new federal accessibility guidelines designed to reduce the hurdles students with disabilities face in accessing increasingly complex information on web pages and mobile apps.

Twas the night before your presentation and all thorugh the house, not an idea or concept was brewing … so what do you do? If you”ve ever stared at a blank Google Slides deck the night before a professional development session, you know the feeling. You have a clear vision for what you want coaches and teachers to walk away understanding — but translating that vision into a polished, engaging slide deck takes time. A lot of time. Today I want to walk you through how instructional coaches — and the teachers they support — can use Gemini to generate…

Onboarding Ends. The Development Need Doesn’t. There is a document that almost every new hire receives in their first week. It goes by different names, but the structure is always the same: 30 days to learn the product, 60 days to manage your first accounts, 90 days to be operating independently. The 30-60-90 plan is one of the most widely used onboarding tools in professional environments, and it is not a bad framework. The problem is not the document.

Today’s young people are the first generation to grow up with artificial intelligence systems during a formative period of building identity and connection, and many turn to AI for emotional support and social interaction. But a new report from The Rithm Project finds a more nuanced picture of how they engage with the technology. Last fall, the organization surveyed nearly 2,400 people ages 13 to 24—including more than 500 young adults ages 18 to 24—on how their AI use intersects with their social lives, emotional well-being and relationships. The data, collected in partnership with YouGov, was weighted to be nationally…

The Chi­nese film­mak­er Wang Bing’s ‘Til Mad­ness Do Us Part, a doc­u­men­tary about a men­tal insti­tu­tion in Yun­nan, runs three hours and 48 min­utes. Beau­ty Lives in Free­dom, on the life of impris­oned artist Gao Ertai, is five and a half hours long; Dead Souls, on the sur­vivors of a hard-labor camp in the Gobi Desert, eight hours and fif­teen min­utes. Even if you know noth­ing else of his work, you may get the impres­sion that Wang isn’t the most shame­less­ly com­mer­cial of film­mak­ers. The extreme dura­tion of some of his movies sure­ly make them a hard sell, as do his…
