We are pleased to announce the launch of the Learning Design Bootcamp 2021. We are honoured to have the Learning Design team from The Open University leading the Bootcamp this year.

The opportunities that the Learning Design Bootcamp offers to academics and learning technologists/educational developers in Higher Education is more relevant than ever before. The pandemic forced the move to online learning with some institutions better prepared than others to face the challenges of quality online learning design and delivery. The Bootcamp this year provides an opportunity to engage with experts and facilitators in the area of Learning Design, whom will guide and support the teams in the implementation of online/blended learning focused on key themes:
