communities of practice

Learning Design and Technology 

The Learning Design & Technology Community of Practice brings together ATD CIC members who are passionate about exploring how learning design, digital tools, and emerging technologies shape modern talent development.

We meet virtually every other month, creating a collaborative space to exchange real-world practices, explore new trends, and stay current with the evolving L&D tech landscape. Whether you’re experimenting with innovative learning solutions or simply curious about what’s next, this CoP offers an easy way to connect, grow, and contribute.

Members can reach out directly to Beth Haggenjos at careerslicellc@gmail.com or Debrah Worland at debrah.kite@gmail.com to get involved and join our upcoming sessions.
