ABOUT

The LDC Awards honor those who lead the way in innovative, effective learning design.

Launched just a year ago by FeedbackFruits, the Learning Design Community was born from our mission to empower educators through best-in-class learning design. Since then, it has become a global hub for collaboration, inspiration, and the exchange of innovative practices in higher education.

Now, to further that mission, we're introducing the LDC Awards, a celebration of the individuals driving meaningful change through innovation in learning design.
