The number of influencers providing top notch content on corporate learning & development, talent development and HR is astonishing and continues to grow.

I wanted to compile a list of the best Learning & Development blogs out there that you must follow

So, I scoured the web and put together a list of blogs we felt fit into this category.

Josh Bersin

I’m sure you must have of Bersin by Deloitte! Evidently a piece of Bersin by Deloitte research is downloaded on average approximately every minute during the business day! We’re avid followers of the latest findings from the forward thinking Josh Bersin.

Craig Weiss

Craig Weiss is the CEO and Lead Analyst for the Craig Weiss, Group LLC. (formally known as E-Learning 24/7). Craig has been named the most influential person in the world for e-learning and the LMS space. He writes the E-Learning 24/7 blog, which is read in 174 countries, territories and colonial territories.

Shannon Tipton

Shanon brings to the table real-world, practical expertise in the learning field. She believes that the field of performance development is changing and changing fast. From virtual to traditional classrooms — designing and facilitating for how people learn today makes the difference between an organization of passive students versus active learners.

Jane Hart

Jane is the founder of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies, one of the world’s most visited learning websites. She writes a popular blog about modernising workplace learning, and her insights into social learning and technology in the modern workplace come highly recommended.

Matt Guyan is an enthusiastic learning professional from Newcastle NSW, Australia. He has been working in the learning and development field since 2007. He started out as a classroom facilitator and workplace assessor then moved into instructional design.

He has a keen interest in human cognitive architecture and motivation as well as being an advocate for performance support, informal learning and community building using social media.

ATD National

Whilst they produce a high volume of diverse content, you can filter the blog to the specific area you’re interested in, be that L&D, Learning Technologies or whatever else you’re keen to delve into.

If you think I’ve missed out any name, feel free to add it in the comments!
