Learning Meetup is for instructional designers, content developers, eLearning professionals, f2f facilitators, blended learning experts, and any one else who creates learning anywhere in Australia.

We collaborate and share our ideas once a month for one hour on the first Wednesday of every month 8:00-9:00am AEDT (AEST outside Daylight Savings time). We share our learnings through LinkedIn posts from time to time too.

We come from education, government, business / industry and not-for-profit organisations, and we welcome everyone who is interested in contributing to our learning discussion.

The approach to Learning Meetup is decided by group consensus.

For 2023 we voted to continue our model from 2020 and 2021 by using zoom and our tried and tested format. Register once and you can continue to use the same URL for all meetups in 2023.

If you want to network and mingle please join 5 minutes early.

Here is the format:

Event commences for welcome and networking 5 minutes before scheduled start time
On commencement, attendees add learning topics (or issues/problems) for discussion to the whiteboard - voluntary participation
The preferred order of topics / issues / problems for discussion is decided by popular vote - using stamps on the whiteboard
Each topic is allocated approximately 5 minutes
The owner of the topic introduces the context, then we all have an opportunity to contribute our ideas, thoughts, opinions, advice, observations or learnings
If you can't get a word in, raise your hand visually or virtually
At the end of the 5 minutes we may add extra time if the conversation is rich
We do our best to always finish on time

What do you need to bring or prepare? Well, that's the beauty of this group. You don't need to prepare anything. If you have a topic, question or issue you would like the group to discuss (or help you to solve) be ready to share it.
