Designing for the Learner Experience

Designing for the Learner Experience (LXD) is the science and art of creating experiences that help learners fulfill the learning outcomes in a user-centered and goal-directed way. Our focus will be an interactive journey discovering together how to ensure that your learning design is enjoyable, engaging, relevant, and informative.
