Learning Experience Design (LXD)
Learning experience design (LXD) is a creative, research-informed practice that focuses on designing learning in a way that is meaningful, intuitive, and effective for the learner. It combines principles from user experience design, cognitive psychology, and instructional design to shape the full learner journey—from initial motivation to real-world application. LXDs consider how people feel, think, and behave as they learn, applying methods such as learner personas, journey mapping, prototyping, and usability testing to create learning that is both engaging and results-driven.
Many LXD approaches also draw from experiential learning theory. David Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle, introduced in 1984, outlines four stages—concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. This model continues to influence how designers craft learning experiences that promote deeper understanding and real-world performance.
