OLC: Designing Workforce-Ready Pathways: A 4T Sprint for Digital Learning Leadership (Vendor Webinar)
August 19 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
As higher education continues to respond to shifting workforce expectations, AI integration, and the growth of alternative credentials, faculty and academic leaders are being asked to align curriculum with emerging skills, often without clear guidance on how to do so while preserving disciplinary integrity. This webinar introduces a structured approach to workforce-aligned learning that begins with curriculum, not tools.
Participants will be guided through the 4T Framework (Topics, Tasks, Tools, Trends), a design model that supports intentional integration of industry-linked learning into academic courses. Through a facilitated design process, attendees will examine how to redesign assignments, select appropriate supports such as micro-credentials or AI tools, and connect their work to broader institutional and workforce trends. The session emphasizes faculty-led innovation and offers a practical pathway for translating institutional pressure into coherent, sustainable design.
