Learning Design (and Curriculum Design) as a discipline has come to the fore in the last 18 months as educators and institutions have accepted that teaching has fundamentally changed and new approaches are needed.

Good design practices create meaningful learning experiences, are evidence backed, and draw on the collective expertise of academic and professional staff alike. The ASCILITE TELedvisors Network and Learning Design SIG have a webinar today (Thurs 30/9 – 12 noon AEST) showcasing some exemplars of how this work is done. Featuring Drs Dewa Wardak and Andrew Cram from Uni Sydney, Michelle Riggs from Australian Institute of Business and Mitchell Osmond from UTS. Tune in at bit.ly/TELedsinar.
