The Learning Design SIG is intended to be a resource and network for academics and professionals who are responsible for, and interested in, learning design. Our focus is to provide a platform for members to come together in a supportive collegial and collaborative environment. We aim to do this through providing opportunities for professional development activities, structured exchange of ideas, sharing of good practices, and discussion of issues and trends that affect learning design. While our focus is typically learning design within tertiary education (as we are part of ASCILITE), we welcome interested practitioners from other fields to join or be involved where it may be relevant to them.
Find out more about the LD SIG and join the group via the Learning Design SIG page on the ASCILITE website.
We run regular events including monthly webinars and annual 'hackathon' workshops. We also welcome other ideas and involvement from our members and community. These are free to join and you do not need to be an ASCILITE member to access them.
For regular updates on LD SIG events and topics/news items relevant in learning design, consider joining the Australian Association of Learning Designers LinkedIn group. This community is a vibrant space of likeminded practitioners.
You can also fill in the LD SIG expression of interest form to express your interest in joining the LD SIG or getting involved.
ASCILITE members can also subscribe to or look out for the ASCILITE news bulletin as we will also post updates on upcoming events there.

We value building inclusive spaces wherever possible which means:
please bring an open mind, including openness to others' ideas and feedback (this is the most important in order to ensure a safe space)
for zoom events, you are welcome to keep cameras on or off and to use chat and microphone engagement options while respecting some basic housekeeping rules
we record sessions and use live transcripts during the sessions. We unfortunately cannot guarantee accuracy of all transcripts
face to face sessions are typically hybrid, and we encourage people to engage in ways that feel comfortable and safe for them.
The LD SIG is organised by Leanne Ngo, Keith Heggart and Kashmira Dave and Kate Mitchell.
