Rachel Koblic

Rachel Koblic is a learning architect and product strategist exploring what happens when AI becomes the primary interface between curriculum and learner. Her work focuses on the "logic layer" — the invisible architecture that helps AI systems teach well — asking not just how we use AI as a tool, but how we design for it as an audience. Rachel brings two decades of experience spanning edtech, higher education, and workforce learning. At 2U/edX, she led the team designing online learning experiences for top-tier university partners during a period of rapid growth in digital education. As Chief Learning Officer at Matter and Space, she led learning strategy and design, bridging pedagogical expertise with emerging technology to create meaningful learning experiences. In her current work, she consults with institutions, edtech companies, and organizations on designing learning experiences and products that use AI to make genuinely personalized learning possible. Rachel holds an M.S.Ed. from Indiana University Bloomington. She writes and speaks about AI-era learning design, the generalist's moment in technology, and why using AI well is fundamentally design work — requiring the same capacities designers have always cultivated: framing situations, working with ambiguity, exercising judgment, and staying responsible for meaning. She lives in upstate New York with her partner, Luke, and an ever growing brood of animals.
