Are We Ready for Next Generation Digital Learning Environments?

The NGDLE is designed to foster iterative improvement, varying across institutions. We asked, What is the current state of digital environments and integration? The session will begin with a brief discussion of findings on IDs, LMSs, and digital tool integration. Next, participants will elaborate on key themes and establish a current state of NGDLEs. We will then engage in a gap-filling protocol bridging current and future states. Research interests will be shared, in service of creating a CoP.

Outcomes: Discuss the findings of a nationwide survey of the instructional designer's role in building digital learning environments * Collaboratively expand on research findings to establish a current state for gap-filling protocol * Brainstorm ideas to bridge the gap between the current and future state of NGDLEs
