Exciting CE events ahead! It starts tomorrow, 29 July, with the final live session of our Story-based Learning Design Sprint, a hands-on hackathon where CE subscribers and DLI students will explore how AI-powered simulation authoring tools can bring story-based learning to life.

Looking further ahead, our next sprint kicks off in September with a focus on Data Literacy for Learning Professionals. Across three live events, participants will build the skills to make more confident, data-informed learning decisions.

These sessions are exclusively available to DLI students and CE subscribers.
