Experience Matters: A Crash Course in Learning Experience Design (HT2 Labs)

This course will explore how you can create engaging, meaningful and data-driven learning experiences by combining Personalization, Gamification, Learning Analytics and Social Learning. We will focus on how learning professionals can leverage existing or free content, existing or new platforms, data, and, most importantly, people, to create engaging, data-driven and meaningful learning experiences.

Experience Matters: A Crash Course in Learning Experience Design will run over the course of 4 weeks, each week unlocking as you go:
Week 1: How Modern Learning Experiences Are Changing
Week 2: Social Learning: What’s New?
Week 3: Personalised Learning: What’s New?
Week 4: Learning From Your Learning Data | What does all this look like in practice?

Exploring a range of subjects, from Personalization, Semantic Analysis, and AI, to Data Analytics and Social Learning; each week we will work through specific examples in a range of sectors, using curated resources.
This MOOC will offer more in terms of content, and ask for more from participants than a more casual online course, with the aim of making sure everyone is able to finish the course confident of starting to design an LX-driven learning culture.
This course is suitable for anyone working in L&D or higher or further education. No specific technical or training experience will be required, but those with no background in online learning at all may need to do a bit more background study (which we’ll help with along the way).
