    Contains 2 Component(s) Includes a Live Web Event on 04/21/2026 at 3:00 PM (EDT)

    Most organizations still spend 150 to 200 hours building a single hour of eLearning. By the time the course is live, the industry has already moved on. In this session, you will see how modern AI can transform existing content, including PDFs, PowerPoints, and webinar transcripts, into fully interactive, SCORM ready eLearning in minutes. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for collapsing production time without collapsing quality.
