Abstract: This qualitative study interviewed twelve (n=12) instructional design and learning technology leaders from the K12, higher education, nonprofit, and corporate sectors to identify trends and challenges that were impacting their work and the work of their teams. Results included technology trends (e.g., artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality), broader conceptual learning shifts (e.g., microlearning, deeper levels of engagement in learning experiences), and various challenges (e.g., balancing exploring emerging trends with increasing day-to-day work creating workload and burnout concerns, managing change through bureaucracy and resistance).
