This webinar provides a focused and insightful exploration of what works in modern learning design—and why. You’ll walk away with real-world examples and practical takeaways you can apply in your own context.

The session covers seven key themes shaping effective learning today:

  • Learner-centered design
  • Microlearning
  • Blended and hybrid learning
  • Social and peer learning
  • The facilitator as coach
  • Gamification and motivation science
  • Virtual facilitation best practices

What this webinar is (and is not)

This is not a hands-on training or technical workshop. Instead, it is a strategic, idea-generating briefing designed to:

  • Spark new ideas
  • Challenge assumptions
  • Sharpen your perspective on current learning practices
  • Support more informed design and facilitation decisions

Who should attend

This webinar is ideal for:

  • Learning and development professionals
  • Task team leaders (TTLs)
  • Capacity-building project managers and administrators
  • Anyone curious about contemporary learning design and facilitation

Whether you design programs, facilitate learning, or oversee capacity-building initiatives, this session will help you better understand what’s working, what’s changing, and why it matters.
