About

Everyone learns. Everyone can learn better.

Learning, motivation, and the technology that carries them — across industries, because everyone is still growing.

Dr. Corinne Hyde is an educator and consultant with more than 20 years of experience across K–12, higher education, and organizations. She is a Professor of Clinical Education at the University of Southern California's Rossier School of Education, and works with clients through her own independent practice.

Her expertise centers on learning theories and motivation, and how to put them to work through learning design and technology. At USC she teaches across master's and doctoral programs — from instructional design studios to organizational change and leadership — and advises doctoral students whose work spans healthcare, technology, sports, nonprofits, and education.

As a speaker, consultant, coach, and facilitator, she works with people across industries. Much of her current work focuses on AI, and she takes a nuanced, balanced approach: curious about what these tools make possible, honest about their limits and risks, and anchored in what we know about how people learn.

Before joining the faculty, she taught in Los Angeles Unified and directed learning programs in New York. She lives in the Portland, Oregon area with her family.
