What Is Learning Experience Design?: Teachers Who Teach Students

Learning experience design is an approach to intentionally designing learning experiences from a wider perspective that considers all factors affecting learning. It involves crafting the entire experience of learning from how students enter the classroom to the activities, lectures, discussions, and materials used.

What is Learning

Experience Design?
It is a set of tools and mindsets to - apologies for stating the obvious -
design learning experiences. For us teachers and educators, we may
already think of ourselves as learning experience designers. Each day, we
plan what to teach, how we’re going to teach it, and how we’re going to
check if our students learned what we taught. We design how we’re
going to teach our subject.

There is a difference though between teachers who teach a subject and


teachers who teach students.

Teachers who teach subjects want to cover the syllabus.

Teachers who teach students keep a larger goal in sight:


the success of their student, not just in their class, but in
the world outside their classroom.

Learning Experience (LX) Design entails being more intentional about


having a wider perspective on what you teach, and looking at all the
factors that affect learning with a critical, detail-oriented eye.

Think of teaching as if it was a theater play. In conventional teaching, we


teachers are the actors, and our students the audience. Our lesson plan is
like the play’s script; we do our best to convey the story to our audience.
But imagine if we played a larger role, beyond following the script and
interpreting the story. What if we had the opportunity to craft the whole
experience of going to the theater - from planning the logistics of how the
audience gets from the entrance of the venue to their seats, selecting the
music that will play during different scenes, and designing the souvenirs
they take home?

That is our goal with Learning Experience Design — we want to take the
curriculum, the lesson plans, the textbooks, and transform them into a
powerful experience for our learners from the moment they enter the
classroom. We determine what the space will look like, what activities
students will do, what lectures they will listen to, what books they will
read, what topics they will discuss with classmates, and what materials
they will use. Learning experience design, with its set of tools and
processes, inform our process of making not just any learning experience,
but a well-designed learning experience.

Guided by empathy and a deep understanding of student


context, we aim for every learning experience to help our
students succeed.

What will I be able to do as a


LX Designer?
Be confidently creative

Quickly adapt and contextualize

Possess a holistic view of


learning

Be comfortable with teamwork

Have a habit of documentation


and reflection
