Bianca Raby
This channel is about the human experience in an AI-powered world.
I'm Bianca Raby—former teacher, seasoned learning designer, and founder of a digital education agency (Oppida) with over 20 years in the education sector. After a career helping educators navigate change, I’m now turning the lens inward.
Here, I share personal reflections, critical questions, and big-picture thinking about how AI is transforming our work, creativity, identity, and connection.
This is no longer a 'how-to' channel. It’s a space for people who want to think deeply about:
- The emotional and social impact of AI
- The future of work and post-productivity culture
- Creativity, purpose, and staying human amid rapid change.
You’ll still find past content on learning design and edtech, but the focus now is broader, deeper, and more human.
If you’re evolving too—professionally or personally—subscribe and join the conversation.
