Optimize the performance and learning experiences of your employees. How? Our students will design innovative training modules using the Learning Experience Design (LXD*) approach. Why now? Now more than ever, employers are looking to be inspired and people are key to the success of your organization. We are excited about our 6-month certificate which will follow the process and flow of LXD professional practices... taking your learning modules from ordinary to extraordinary! Students will reinvent a current training module or design a new learning experience to fit your unique context. *LXD: Takes a "design thinking" approach to developing user-centred learning experiences. It combines traditional instructional design principles with user experience (UX) principles, in order to create effective and results-oriented training interventions that captivates a learner's attention across different mediums, includes motivational strategies, and reinforces knowledge retention and application.
