Learning Experience Design

What is it?

Learning Experience Design (LXD) focuses on every aspect affecting the learners from the point-of-need to the point-of-performance. It has a balanced blend of cognitive science and instructional design innovation.

Nice to meet you!

  • Course design and hosting
  • LMS implementations and admin
  • Gamifying existing content
  • Training program design and integration
