SUMMARY:XCLusive! Create\, Share\, and Track Accessible PDFs
DESCRIPTION:Creating an accessible PDF does not have to be complicated. Venngage makes it easier than ever. The real power comes from extending that accessibility beyond creation\, ensuring your PDFs stay inclusive when shared\, and making sure administrators can independently access engagement data in Build Capable XCL\, even when using assistive technologies. This is about building a truly end-to-end accessible process. \nJoin us for this 30-minute XCLusive with guests Eugene Woo\, CEO of Venngage\, and Dr. Nicole L’Etoile\, CPACC\, Accessibility Consultant and Learning Experience Designer. We will discuss how to create accessible PDFs using Venngage and how to maintain their accessibility as you distribute and track them using XCL. \nYou will learn practical strategies for building PDFs with accessibility in mind from the start\, avoiding common pitfalls that can compromise access and usability. We will also explore how XCL administrators can gather meaningful data while preserving an inclusive experience for everyone. \nRegister once to join XCLusive sessions in Zoom and attend anytime. XCLusive recordings can be found on the Build Capable XCL YouTube channel with accurate captions and transcripts.

SUMMARY:Rethink Learning Delivery at Learning Innovation & Technology
DESCRIPTION:Rob will be presenting at the “This Party is LIT” event in May in Ann Arbor\, MI. \nSession Description:\nBuild Capable XCL challenges the assumptions of the traditional learning platform. It isn’t another platform to manage. It’s a precision tool designed for the moments when a platform gets in the way. When your audience is remote\, temporary\, external\, or constantly changing\, XCL gives you a faster\, simpler path forward. \nIn this session\, we’ll demonstrate the XCL tool using real-world scenarios you encounter every day. You’ll see how XCL removes the most common friction points of platform-based learning\, while still capturing rich performance data. We’ll walk through how to create clean\, branded links that are professional\, simple to use\, and easy to share.

SUMMARY:ATD 2026 International Conference & EXPO
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Learning Ecosystems: Meeting Learners and Organizations Where They Are\n Monday\, May 18\, 2026 1:00 PM to 2:00 PMTracie Cantu\, Josh Cavalier\, JD Dillon\, Koreen Pagano\, and Sarah Mercier \nToday’s learners expect personalized learning experiences in the flow of work\, while organizations demand measurable impact and agility. This panel explores the essential elements of a modern learning ecosystem\, from skills data and AI-powered content to embedded performance support and real-time analytics. Learn how leading organizations are building connected\, modular learning ecosystems that align development with business goals. Discover strategies to rethink your learning ecosystem to meet evolving learner needs and drive meaningful outcomes. \nThis is a panel discussion that will explore why and how the learning ecosystem is changing. \n\nAdvancing Accessibility Beyond One Person\nWednesday\, May 20\, 2026 8:00 AM to 8:20 AMSarah Mercier \nWhen we talk about accessibility in learning\, the focus often lands on what one person can do. But accessibility at scale isn’t a solo effort. It’s a shared responsibility that requires alignment across teams\, tools\, and processes. In this Talent Talk\, we’ll explore how shifting from individual action to collaborative strategy leads to more sustainable\, scalable accessibility.

SUMMARY:XCLusive! How Midmark Scaled Partner Learning with XCL + Zendesk
DESCRIPTION:In this special XCLusive case study\, we will talk to Susan Weyandt\, Partner Development Manager at Midmark RTLS.\n\nMidmark had been dealing with a traditional LMS that was difficult to administer\, costly to scale\, and delivered a poor user experience.\n\nSusan will share how Midmark modernized their channel learning strategy by implementing Build Capable XCL with Zendesk. This enabled learning in the flow of work\, eliminated manual enrollment processes\, and improved both learner engagement and administrative efficiency.\n\nThis case illustrates how shifting from a platform-centric approach to a learning ecosystem can drive adoption\, reduce operational friction\, and deliver more effective\, performance-focused training.\n\nLearn how Build Capable XCL can support organizations’ content data and delivery needs! Join us for 30-minute live sessions the last Thursday of each month on Zoom. Register once and attend anytime. \nRecorded XCLusives can be found on the Build Capable XCL YouTube channel with accurate captions and transcripts.

SUMMARY:xAPI for Everyone: Analysing Your Digital learning Assets with Build Capable XCL
DESCRIPTION:Rob Christie is facilitating a hands-on session for the Digital Learning Institute that makes xAPI feel simple. We’ll demo Build Capable XCL\, then you’ll bring a digital learning asset of your own\, turn it into a shareable link\, and watch the data come in live. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nSee how XCL turns any content\, an elearning module\, a video\, a PDF\, a web page\, into a trackable link with no LMS and no code.\nIn a live sandbox\, link your own asset\, explore each other’s\, and see interactions captured as xAPI in real time.\nExperiment with the dashboard and analytics\, and leave with a few “I could use this for…” ideas to apply straight to your sprint/professional context.

SUMMARY:Training Magazine Webinar
DESCRIPTION:AI and Accessibility: Passing the Scan\, Failing the User\nAI can generate content\, format a slide\, and confidently tell you a document passes WCAG 2.2 AA… right before it gets the accessibility wrong. This session was inspired by eight hours of vibe coding a single accessible one-pager: what AI got right\, where it quietly broke reading order and heading structure\, and why a perfect automated accessibility score isn’t the same as what works for real people. \nIn this session\, we will discuss how to bring intentional\, human-centered accessibility practices into AI-assisted workflows\, using AI to support learning and development without letting it decide what “accessible enough” means. You’ll leave with a practical way to evaluate AI-generated content\, know when to trust automated checkers (and when not to)\, and keep people at the center of your design decisions. \nLearning Objectives / Takeaways \n\nIdentify risks of using AI and vibe coding to support accessibility and inclusion\, including bias\, error\, and false confidence in “passing” results.\nEvaluate and correct AI-generated content for reading order\, heading structure\, and semantic accuracy.\nGenerate and verify alt text and image descriptions using popular AI-supported tools and models.\nDiscover how AI-powered tools can help you create closed captions and transcripts.\nBuild a workflow that combines automated accessibility checkers with real assistive technology testing.

SUMMARY:DevLearn 2026
DESCRIPTION:310: Un-Clutter Your Data for AI\nNovember 4\, 2026 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm \nCollecting data is the easy part. Collecting intelligent data that is easily read and utilized by AI powered systemsis where it gets tough. \nThis session provides guidance\, starting with collecting data that provides value and structure for current AI systems. No matter how you collect the data—xAPI\, cmi5\, Google Analytics\, others—it can come in fast and furious and quickly get messy. Most of the specifications are easy to implement\, i.e.\, there is not much coding involved\, if any at all. Where your time should be spent is planning what you want to collect and how that data will inform your AI systems to improve the output—in other words\, creating your data strategy. We will walk through decisions you need to make and how to build a strategy to collect data that your AI systems can use effectively to automate and drive adaptive learning systems. You will actively work through the design of a data strategy during the session \nIn this session\, you will learn to: \n\nExplain the importance of a data strategy and its role in enabling effective AI systems\nDesign a data strategy that supports the development\, deployment\, and scaling of solutions\nApply a structured process to implement and manage a successful data strategy for AI initiatives\nDocument and communicate a data strategy to ensure alignment\, governance\, and long-term usability\n\nParticipants would benefit from having an understanding of data principles with some baseline on learning data schemas. \nBD03: Buzz Discussion: Data & Measurement\nNovember 4\, 2026 3:45 pm – 4:15 pm \nJoin your peers and speaker’s selected for specific tracks for an informal gathering to share ideas\, ask questions and extend the learning with like-minded colleagues.
