Learning Experience Design

Introduction

Learning Experience Design (LXD) is the process of creating educational programs that are engaging, effective, and learner-centered. It blends instructional design, user experience (UX) design, and educational theory to craft learning environments that meet the needs and goals of learners.

Learning Experience Design

LXD involves understanding the target audience, defining learning objectives, and utilizing various media and technologies to deliver content in interactive and meaningful ways. The aim is to facilitate a positive and impactful learning journey, ensuring that learners are motivated, retain information, and can apply what they've learned in real-world contexts.

Universal Design Principles for Learning

PERCEPTION: Refers to auditory and visual processing of information to ensure accessibility (considering learners with varying abilities)IMAGERY: Ensure to give description to images e.g timelines, graphs, etcLANGUAGE: Use simple terms easily understandable by all. Refrain from using jargons, provide definition of terms (glossary) and provide a means for learners to understand diagrams, formulas, etcCOMPREHENSION: Add instruction to online activities, micro learning (chunck content),

Experiential Learning refers to how learners prefer to learn as opposed to what they need to learn (learning outcomes). There are certain questions you should consider to answer in order to understand their preferences Kolbs reflective learning cycle: is an experiential learning cycle that argues that we learn through our experience. the Kolb's learning cycle has 4 stages of action (experience, reflect, act and think)Experience/feel- e.g., storytelling, simulations, breakout, role play.Reflection/observe/watch- chats, polls, brainstorming, group discussion.Thinking- Connect new learning with previous e.g., online classroom presentation, rewatching recorded training, do more research to gain more understanding. Acting/Doing- Practicing and applying learning to real life scenarios.e.g., case study, etc

The Merril's First Principle of Instructional Design focuses on people who learn best by being involved in real-life activities. It follows 4 principles namely:

Merrils's First Principle

Integration

TASK CENTRED

Demonstration

Application

Activation

ACTIVATION: Recollect prior knowledge before learning something new.

DEMONSTRATION: Real life activity like simulation.

APPLICATION: Progressing through feedback real tasks engaged in.

INTEGRATION: Application of learning to their actual jobs through reflections, self-review, etc

Learning outcomes ought to be SMART which is an acronymn for the following:

SMART Outcomes

S- SpecificM- Measureable A- AttainableR- Realistic/RelevantT- Time bound

GAGNE'S 9 EVENTS OF LEARNING

1. Gaining Attention: Get learner's interest by introducing the course e.g., watch a video, brainstorm

2. Stating Objectives: Manage learner's expectations by stating learning outcomes.

3. Recalling Prior Learning:Knowledge check exercise to help learners remember prior knowledge of the topic.

4. Presenting Stimulus: This is the presentation of content in multiple formats like text, image, etc

5. Providing Guidance: Provide support to learners with enough information, hints, navigation screen, etc,.

9. Enhancing Retention/transfer: Provide self study activities like assignments & group work to help them understand learning.

8. Assessing Performance:Assess learning with materials like quiz, essay, and worksheet..

7. Providing Feedback: Constructive feedback is necessary to help learners improve.

6. Eliciting Performance: Give room for learning without assessment e.g., answering questions in class, matching sentences, etc.
