Joel Podolny, CEO of Honor Education, joined The EdUp Experience podcast to discuss how Honor is reimagining digital learning by putting human connection at the center of the online education experience. He explored why traditional discussion boards fall short, how AI can enhance rather than replace human relationships in learning, and why frictionless design is crucial for creating engaging experiences that learners actually want to complete.
