Athena Global Learning is proud to share an exciting milestone. Our founder, Dr. Athena Stanley, has been featured in the eLearning Industry Guest Author Article Showcase for December 2025, a curated collection that highlights standout contributions from thought leaders across the global learning and development community.
Dr. Stanley’s article, “5 Questions We Must Teach All AI Users, From Students To Professionals,” was selected as one of the top guest contributions of the month. The article addresses a growing and urgent challenge in today’s AI landscape: while artificial intelligence can generate responses that sound confident and authoritative, those responses may also be incomplete, biased, or inaccurate. In response, the article introduces five essential questions that learners, educators, and professionals can use to evaluate AI-generated content, identify gaps, and maintain their own judgment and agency. This work reflects a core belief at Athena Global Learning: AI should support thinking, not replace it.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into education, workplaces, and everyday life, the need for AI literacy continues to grow. The December showcase highlights a range of important topics, including the role of judgment in an AI-driven world, the use of learning management systems to support executive function, new approaches to research mentoring, and emerging developments such as neuro-symbolic AI. Being included alongside these contributions reinforces the importance of thoughtful, human-centered approaches to technology. The future of learning is not only about access to tools, but about how individuals learn to think with them.
We invite you to read Dr. Stanley’s featured article and consider how these questions might shape your own use of AI in learning and professional contexts. “5 Questions We Must Teach All AI Users, From Students To Professionals” is available through eLearning Industry.
We extend our sincere thanks to the team at eLearning Industry for recognizing this work and for continuing to elevate meaningful conversations in the field of learning and development. We are also grateful to the Athena Global Learning community of educators, learners, families, and organizations. Your engagement and support make this work possible.
Athena Global Learning remains committed to supporting ethical and effective uses of AI, designing learning experiences that strengthen human judgment, and helping individuals and organizations thrive in a rapidly evolving world. This recognition is an honor, and it also serves as a reminder that the work of building AI literacy and responsible practice is ongoing.
