Over the past decade, instructional design and learning and development have become increasingly visible across K–12, higher education, and corporate environments. Colleges and universities now regularly collaborate with instructional designers, and many corporations are moving away from outsourcing training in favor of building internal learning teams and corporate universities.
As learning expands beyond the classroom, educators and learning leaders are being asked to design, facilitate, and evaluate learning in new contexts—often without shared language, community, or ongoing support.
The Learning Consortium exists to meet that need.
Grounded in learning literacy, the consortium brings together educators, faculty developers, instructional designers, and corporate learning professionals who want to deepen their understanding of how learning works across environments. Rather than focusing solely on tools or models, we engage questions of intention, design, facilitation, assessment, and transfer—supporting learning that is measurable, meaningful, and sustainable.
Through dialogue, shared resources, and collaborative learning experiences, the consortium helps participants connect educational practice with the evolving needs of institutions and organizations—while remaining grounded in sound pedagogy and human-centered learning design.
TMSVG's LEARNING CONSORTIUM is a collective group of people interested in creating a learning culture built on sound instructional design methodology with a dual, learner-centered approach.
The LEARNING CONSORTIUM will host 4 groups in 4 weeks of VIRTUAL continuous learning that will help educators transition into the instructional design field. This hybrid learning approach includes online engagement and VIRTUAL, in-person collaboration with outcomes learners can use to begin their ID careers!
