Learning Experience Design Masterclass New Orleans

We all love a great experience. When we travel, go out for dinner, visit a museum, shop in a boutique or online, we appreciate a well-designed experience. In fact, as tourists, guests, visitors and customers we’ve come to expect more and more from the experiences in which we invest our time and money.

Today’s learner isn’t any different. People want to learn from memorable experiences that are designed to fit their needs. A standard solution often falls short and a more creative approach is required to design solutions that work. Learning isn’t just about knowledge transfer or developing skills, it is about personal growth from the experiences that shape us. LXD offers a holistic approach to learning and a fresh perspective to come up with unique experiences that improve people’s lives.

The market for LXD is growing explosively as schools and companies are looking for new ways to support, attract, retain and develop talent. Students and employees appreciate the opportunity to learn and value a learning experience that is made especially for them.

• Gain a deep understanding of what learning experience design is, how it works, and why it matters to you and your learners.
• Discover how a different perspective enables you to find new opportunities to shape the way we learn.
• Use the Learning Experience Canvas to design a learning experience.
• Work on collaborative assignments designed to apply your newly acquired knowledge.

This masterclass attracts professionals from the fields of learning (education, L&D, instructional design, neuro science) and design (user experience design, graphic design, game design, LXD). Having this mix of people is a great opportunity to learn from and with each other. As a creative design discipline, LXD builds a bridge from the field of design to the world of learning.

After Amsterdam, Berlin, Singapore, Jakarta, Sao Paulo, New York, Philadelphia and Quebec City the LXD masterclass is coming to New Orleans! A vibrant city with a rich history and unique culture. We've found a great spot in downtown New Orleans for the masteclass within walking distance of Bourbon street. Make sure to explore the city when you're there!

At LXD.org we practice what we preach. This masterclass is designed with you in mind. Over the years we’ve supported and gotten to know the international LXD community and we use these insights to provide you with a personal and valuable learning experience.

Learning is preferably a social activity which is why collaboration is a vital part of this masterclass. Together we will share our perspectives and expertise to learn both from and with each other. The structure of this masterclass is created to cover all building blocks of LXD while leaving enough space to welcome any questions or precious unexpected moments.

Training is part of our mission to spread LXD across the globe as we’ve seen how great learning experiences have a positive impact on learners and the world around them. It is one of many initiatives that we’ve initiated to support this mission. For more about our work please visit LXD.org.
