Not for everyone, that’s for sure. You won’t enjoy this programme much if you’re an astronaut, or a dog. But, if you work (or hope to work) in e-learning, learning and development, or even just education in general, you’ll dig it. To start with, we are limiting access to the programme to willing to attend in the GMT+2 time zone.
We welcome Instructional Designers, Learning Technologists, Product People, EdTech Leaders, Teachers, Lecturers, and anyone curious about the field. We’ll match you with others who have similar growth interests and a similar geographical persuasion. Where possible, we combine folks with differing backgrounds and contexts of work to better cross-pollinate between the different corners of our industry.
For 12 weeks, you’ll meet every second week with a group of five to 12 unicorns to discuss a topic selected by the group members. The discussion is led by an experienced mentor that specialises in the focus area of that group. This is a great opportunity to learn about all the types of e-learning projects and audiences that are out there, and how the particulars of a project impacts considerations like accessibility, community building, the types of interactions we design, interoperability, and so much more. It’s also an awesome way to build relationships with others in the industry and get answers to all your burning questions.
After the 12-week programme, you will unlock a 1:1 mentorship session. We’ll pair you with a mentor skilled in the development areas you’re interested in pursuing to help you solve a specific problem or to offer career advice in general. You'll also get access to our exclusive Slack group, and walk away with some free resources to help you tackle your most important e-learning challenges.
We will recommend the stream that we think is right for you, but ultimately it's your choice.
Perhaps you have just landed your first job in online learning, or maybe you’re considering a move from a different field. You might even be working in EdTech already, but you want to shift your role.
What you need is a clear view of the lay of the land: The key players, the core skills and workflows required for different roles, and all the things you should be considering when designing educational experiences. We'll also workshop best practices for developing an awesome portfolio.
You have some expertise in the EdTech world, and you may even have dabbled in elements of human-centred design and interface development. But what separates an average learning experience from a delightful one?
Learn all the ways in which we can use good UX to minimise extraneous cognitive load and get our learners excited about coming back for more. Get comfortable with balancing different requirements and visualising that end product.
You are all about the big picture. Perhaps you have worked as a Product Owner/Manager in a different industry and you are moving into EdTech, or perhaps you’re an E-Learning Developer or tech-savvy Learning Experience Designer looking to identify the next step in your career.
Learn how to research, conceptualise, and design a resilient EdTech ecosystem tailored to the needs of different learners, and create educational products that grow.
OK, let’s get some details ironed out then.
