Learning, Technology, and Thoughtful Change

I’m Dr. Lance Whisenant, a learning technologist, instructional designer, researcher, and higher education professional with more than 15 years of experience supporting teaching, learning, digital systems, and institutional improvement. My work explores how artificial intelligence, digital learning, educational technology, and human development shape education, the workplace, and professional practice.

By combining learning design, research, technology, and systems thinking, I help individuals and organizations develop practical solutions that strengthen learning and improve outcomes. If you need support with instructional design, AI, digital learning, or educational technology, let’s discuss your goals and determine how I can help.
