Niels Floor, Learning Experience Design Pioneer

Just as you can design a user experience that delights, you can design a learning experience that empowers. The field of learning experience design (LXD) bridges the gap between the world of design and the world of learning.

You may not have heard of LXD before, but you’re probably already using LXD design principles in your daily design practice, in activities like human-centered design, goal-oriented design, design research and prototyping.

In this Master Class webinar, LXD pioneer Niels Floor will show you how any designer can become a successful learning experience designer through LXD fundamentals and practical tips. Discover how you can use your UX design skills to create better ways of learning.

You’ll learn:

  • What LXD is, how it works, and why it matters.
  • Differences and similarities between LXD and IxD.
  • Why UX designers are crucial in the world of learning.
  • How to step into the world of LXD as a UX designer.
  • How to use powerful design tools like the Learning Experience Canvas®.

Design powerful learning experiences—this is your chance to stay ahead of the curve and learn from the best practices of the fascinating field of LXD.

How to Master the Invisible Work: Practical Tips and Insights to Build a Design Culture and Advance Your Career

Joyce Croft, Senior Lead Human-Centered Designer, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

The hard part of a designer’s job is the people—people are involved in all parts of the process, which can be challenging, to say the least. With the rise of AI, advancements in technology, and setbacks from COVID-19, we are growing further away from each other. The ability to connect with others is needed more now than ever.

Soft skills, not hard skills, are the solution to workplace success and career growth. As designers, we spend a lot of time learning how to use our design tools and methods, and little time learning crucial soft skills. In this Master Class webinar with Joyce Croft, Senior Lead Human-Centered Designer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explore the soft skills like communication, influence, and empathy that are timeless, transferable and essential in today’s workplace.

You’ll learn:

  • What exactly empathy is and how to understand your users better.
  • How to be a leader to influence others and advance the design culture in your organization.
  • Practical tips and expert insights on how to build trust and great working relationships.

Through this entertaining and insightful webinar, you’ll learn to empathize better with your stakeholders, build trusting relationships, get alignment and buy-in faster and be seen as a design leader in your organization. With Joyce’s how-to tips and real stories, you’ll learn that soft skills are the key to advancing design culture and your career.
