ASCILITE LD-SIG October Webinar: ‘Bridging the Divide: Insights from Corporate Learning Design for Higher Education’

As learning designers, we often find ourselves navigating the unique challenges and opportunities within our respective sectors, whether in universities or corporate environments. While these contexts may seem worlds apart, there are valuable lessons to be learned from one another. This webinar will bring together a panel of corporate learning designers to explore the evolving landscape of learning design across industries and identify key strategies that can benefit university-based practitioners.

Our discussion will focus on how corporate approaches to instructional design, scalability, learner engagement, and technology integration can be applied in higher education settings. We’ll also examine how academic rigor, deep theoretical foundations, and a commitment to lifelong learning in universities can offer valuable insights for corporate designers. Through this exchange, we aim to uncover new ways of thinking about learning design that bridge the gap between the academic and corporate worlds.

Join us to explore fresh perspectives, share ideas, and spark innovative approaches to creating meaningful and impactful learning experiences—regardless of the sector you work in. This session is ideal for learning designers looking to expand their toolkit and engage in cross-industry collaboration.
