To truly connect with our learners, we need to develop genuine empathy powered by the right kind of research. Let’s explore the key questions that help Learning Experience Designers and EdTech professionals step into learners’ shoes and create experiences that resonate with their target audience. #learningexperiencedesign #learningdesign #instructionaldesign #uxresearch #learninganddevelopment #elearning #edtech #educationtechnology #transitioningteachers

No matter how many books you read about riding a bicycle, the only way to learn is by getting on one. You might fall a few times, but you'll only truly master it through trying and failing—through ★experience★. In the world of learning design, experiential learning is where learners gain knowledge and skills by applying new processes or concepts in real-world or simulated settings. This approach encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and experimentation. Experiential learning can include: ➡ Interactive simulations that mimic real-world scenarios. ➡ Group projects that require collaboration and application of concepts. ➡ Guided workplace experience with access to mentorship and feedback. If you think your learner might be the sort of person who skips the user manual and goes straight to fiddling with their new Air Fryer, this approach might be appropriate for your project. Just be sure to provide your learners with just enough context and instruction to accompany that experience (like having a recipe while baking a cake), as well as ample personalised feedback, and you’ll design an elegantly scaffolded experiential learning intervention. When facilitating experiential learning, monitor your learners carefully to ensure they approach the exercises with enough confidence. Provide additional support to those who are feeling too uncertain to make the most of the opportunity. Have you had success with experiential learning interventions in practice? Let us know in the comments!. #learningexperiencedesign #learningdesign #transitioningteachers #learninganddevelopment #instructionaldesign #elearning #experientiallearning

🏗 When you're learning something new, the right level of support goes a long way. In learning design, scaffolding refers to the support structures you provide to learners as they develop knowledge and skills. Think of it like constructing a building: you start with strong support, then gradually remove support elements as the structure becomes stable. Similarly, in education, scaffolding involves giving learners the right amount of help at the right time, so they can confidently progress from simple to complex tasks without feeling under- or overstimulated. Whether you’re designing a curriculum, writing a course, or creating interactive simulations, integrating scaffolding into your learning experiences ensures that learners aren’t overwhelmed and can achieve mastery at their own pace. This might involve ➡ breaking down difficult tasks into manageable steps, ➡ recommending learning units based on a pre-assessment, ➡ providing clear instructions, and ➡ offering feedback and resources just when learners need them. With this approach, scaffolding empowers learners to become independent and capable, making the learning process both effective and enjoyable. #learningexperiencedesign #learningdesign #transitioningteachers #learninganddevelopment #instructionaldesign #elearning
