2026 webinar series schedule!
These power sessions are exclusively for our instructional design course community – whether you’re midway through or a proud graduate.
Connect with designers who speak your language as they share insights into project approaches and the tools they actually use. Let’s keep learning, growing, and occasionally nerding out over surprisingly good learning design together!
Learning architectures: Designing sticky learning
Thursday 9th April, 11:00am AEST
Presenters: Bianca & Olivia
Craft learning journeys that deliver real-world impact! Bianca and Olivia reveal how they design the perfect mix of learning experiences that transforms knowledge into action. Discover practical transfer strategies that keep learning alive long after training ends.
Building your portfolio: What make you stand out
Thursday 25th June, 11:00am AEST
Presenter: Olivia
Your resume tells us where you’ve worked. Your portfolio shows us how you think and what you can actually do. Yet most applications arrive without one, or with a string of links that don’t tell a clear story.
In this session, we’ll share exactly what we look for when hiring instructional designers and what sets them apart. Learn how to create a sharp visual snapshot that showcases your judgement, decision-making and design craft. Plus, receive a free portfolio template to help you stand out.
ADVANCED SKILLS WORKSHOP: Learning strategy
Thursday 20th August, 11:00am AEST
Presenter: Bec
Great learning doesn’t start with a course. It starts with a strategy.
In this advanced workshop, Bec explores what a strong learning strategy actually looks like and why organisations need a clear, consistent instructional design process to bring it to life. Discover how to align audience groups, capability priorities and design standards so learning drives measurable impact, not just activity.
Perfect for L&D leaders and senior designers ready to elevate their influence and embed consistency across their teams.
What affects the price of learning?
Thursday 8th October, 11:00am AEDT
Presenters: Olivia & Michael
Ever underquoted a project and paid for it later?
In this practical session, we unpack the real drivers behind learning investment — from source content quality and video production to review cycles and late-stage changes. You’ll learn how design decisions impact time, budget and quality, and how to have confident conversations about scope without compromising outcomes.
Walk away with sharper commercial judgement and clearer language to position learning as a strategic investment, not just a line item.
Liv’s top 5 tips & showcase
Thursday 10th December, 11:00am AEDT

Why do some learning experiences energise people, while others fall flat?
Liv shares her top five design decisions that consistently lift engagement and impact, from crafting a powerful WIIFM to elevating tone, visuals, knowledge checks and embedding strategies. Through practical examples and live activities, you’ll see how small shifts in design create big shifts in learner response.
