What Is Learning Experience Design? (Tips And Examples)

When you’re creating an online course, it’s easy to get tunnel vision and focus solely on your content. After all, the content of your online course is the most important thing to your audience, right? Well, maybe; however, for those folks who decide to invest in your online course, they’re looking for more than raw content. They’re looking for a transformative learning experience, one that will help them get from where they are now to where they want to be in the future. This is true regardless of the topic of your online course.

While the content of your online course is the foundation of what you’re providing, it’s the experience you build around your content that will make it engaging and effective. And this is where the principles of Learning Experience Design (LXD) can help.

Would've liked to have seen a short example. I feel that everything an ID does should make a course engaging and teachable, so what does the difference look like?

Thank you, though I missing a bit the visual examples.

[arthurbeltran]

but that's ID...so what definition of ID are we comparing with? as IDs you also think of the user experience like how to access content, you create assessments...

What is LXD? a transformative learning experience, a combination of instructional design and user experience.

How do you apply LXD? create a user centric learning experience, empathising with your learners' needs, consider their demographics, create a multimedia rich learning experience, images, videos, etc, blended learning, design activities, hands on tutorials, create opportunities to apply those concepts, case studies, scenarios.
