Learning Experience Design Masterclass New Orleans

We all love a great experience. When we travel, go out for dinner, visit a museum, shop in a boutique or online, we appreciate a well-designed experience. In fact, as tourists, guests, visitors and customers we’ve come to expect more and more from the experiences in which we invest our time and money.

Today’s learner isn’t any different. People want to learn from memorable experiences that are designed to fit their needs. A standard solution often falls short and a more creative approach is required to design solutions that work. Learning isn’t just about knowledge transfer or developing skills, it is about personal growth from the experiences that shape us. LXD offers a holistic approach to learning and a fresh perspective to come up with unique experiences that improve people’s lives.

The market for LXD is growing explosively as schools and companies are looking for new ways to support, attract, retain and develop talent. Students and employees appreciate the opportunity to learn and value a learning experience that is made especially for them.

During this masterclass you will:

• Gain a deep understanding of what learning experience design is, how it works, and why it matters to you and your learners.
• Discover how a different perspective enables you to find new opportunities to shape the way we learn.
• Use the Learning Experience Canvas to design a learning experience.
• Work on collaborative assignments designed to apply your newly acquired knowledge.
• Challenge yourself and boost your design skills.
• Get a signed copy of Niels' book "This is learning experience design."
