## Learning Design - Summer Spotlight Event

**You are invited to the HILT Learning Design Affinity Group Summer Spotlight!**

**When:** Wednesday, June 18th, at 1:00 pm ET

**Where:** Via Zoom

This panel will feature three learning design initiatives across Harvard:

- **Michael Davis and Sara Makiya (DCE)**: Designed an interactive, web-based platform that combines maps, multimedia, and narrative. This template helped students in the ENVR S-194: Resilient Communities from the Ground Up course organize and present their research in an engaging, accessible format for use in real-world advocacy.
- **Christine Foulkes (HBS)**: HBS Online will share key insights into the design and implementation challenges that HBS Online faced while creating a year-long fully asynchronous credential -- such as the assumptions that shaped the initial design, how learner feedback informed structural changes, and how their team is striving to find the sweet spot between structure and flexibility.
- **Caroline Freitas (HMS)**: Harvard Catalyst's Mentorship in Clinical and Translational Research guide, a digital tool that empowers mentees and mentors at all career stages to maximize their mentoring relationships and grow their networks. This dynamic resource can be utilized for self-reflection or implemented within formal mentoring relationships or structured mentoring programs.
