ATD Regional Webinar - Start to Finish: Practical AI Across the Learning Design Process (27 May 2026)

Wed, 27 May 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Hosted by the ATD Pittsburgh Chapter

Regional Webinar Series

The ATD Metro DC Chapter is proud to participate in the ATD Mid-Atlantic Regional Webinar Series. This monthly webinar series is offered by the ATD Mid-Atlantic Chapters – Regional Programs Consortium which is comprised of the following eleven ATD chapters:

Using a simple, end‑to‑end example, participants will explore how AI can be applied during early idea generation, the design of ILT activities and eLearning interactions, and final content review. The session emphasizes real‑world decision points and includes guided participation, reflection questions, and discussion to help attendees connect the examples to their own work. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of where AI fits into the learning design process, and where it does not.

The session is designed around active audience participation, using a shared learning design example that unfolds from start to finish. Participants are invited to contribute their thinking at key decision points, reflect on how they would approach the same situations in their own work, and engage through chat, guided questions, and live discussion.

About Our Presenter

Andy Marsula is a Lead Instructional Designer with over 18 years of experience guiding learning initiatives from early concept through delivery in complex, regulated environments. He currently leads instructional design efforts at UPMC, where he supports systemwide education initiatives, manages large‑scale regulatory learning programs, and helps teams bring structure and clarity to under‑framed learning requests.

Andy’s work sits at the intersection of instructional design, prioritization, and workflow design. He is known for helping stakeholders move from vague ideas to clear, performance‑aligned learning solutions while preventing scope creep and improving downstream decision‑making. His approach emphasizes practical design judgment, respect for learner time, and building learning that has a clear purpose from start to finish.

In addition to his day‑to‑day design and leadership work, Andy has presented on learning workflows, governance, and technology at industry conferences and is a published contributor to The Learning Guild, where he has written on using AI as a support tool for instructional design rather than a replacement for professional expertise. He brings this grounded, process‑focused perspective to his sessions, helping learning professionals see how emerging tools can responsibly support the work they already do.

Coffee & Networking is a lightly facilitated, in-person gathering designed to help talent development professionals connect with intention. Participants will use name tags that highlight roles, interests, or current focus areas, making it easier to spot common ground and start meaningful conversations.

We’ll kick things off with a short conversation prompt aligned to the chapter’s strategic priorities, then open the room for organic networking across roles, industries, and career stages. You’ll leave with new perspectives, fresh ideas, and connections that extend beyond the coffee cup.
