Learning Design SIG webinar on the contemporary role of the Learning Designer: ideas and challenges in education and training

Singapore 9am | Auckland 2pm | Other time zones

Learning designers are one of the most sought after roles in tertiary, vocational and corporate education. There are dozens of opportunities available for newly graduated LDs. Yet, at the same time, the historic confusion about the role of the learning designer continues unchallenged. What does it mean to be a learning designer? How is that changing in the present – and how might it change in the future? Perhaps even more importantly, with the growth of the industry, what skills are required for a learning designer? How will learning design integrate (if it does) with learning analytics? Or virtual reality?

In this webinar, Keith Heggart, the course coordinator for the Graduate Certificate in Learning Design at UTS, will draw on his experiences developing the course to reflect on how he seeks to develop the next generation of learning designers. He will discuss both the structure and the approach involved in the course development and reflect on the kinds of skills and knowledges that are central to modern learning design.
