We want forward-thinking leaders like yourself to share best practices with your peers, and to leave inspired and equipped with practical knowledge you can use at your institution.

This invitation includes complimentary registration, because your insights into learning, academic institutional change, and higher education are an invaluable part of our partnership.

Barbara will share her views on:

Interactive panels and small group breakout discussions will cover:

Wrap up the day with a look toward the future of Lynda.com, covering what’s next for our content roadmap as well as our integration with LinkedIn.

To ensure this is a valuable experience for you, we will be tailoring the content for the Learning Summit around presentations and panels made by you and your peers.
