Meeting learners where they are

Is your learning environment designed for every learner?

Learners bring different backgrounds, levels of access, and degrees of digital confidence into every course. These differences directly shape how they participate, persist, and succeed.

When we build learning environments around learner confidence and fluency that isn’t universal, we unintentionally create a hidden learning gap. Because of this, some learners hesitate, engage less, and ultimately fall behind.

The good news is that this gap isn’t inevitable. You can solve it by creating engaging, inclusive programs that take learner circumstances into account.

In this on-demand session, we explore how to bridge the hidden gap through practical, human-centered design.

In this conversation, Moodle’s Director of Global Sales & Partnerships Liz Starbuck Greer joins Learning Design Team Manager Heather Robinson, PhD, and Learning Designer Eric Efrain.

Drawing on research and real-world experience supporting diverse learning programs, they translate three key principles into strategies you can implement immediately.

What you’ll explore

Bridging the hidden learning gap means designing with real learners in mind.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Build clearer, more consistent course structures.
• Create participation that reduces uncertainty and encourages engagement.
• Support learners with varying levels of digital readiness.
• Offer flexibility in ways that empower rather than overwhelm.

Gain access to a practical framework for identifying hidden barriers in your own courses — and concrete next steps you can apply right away.
