In Theories and Frameworks, you’ll take a close look at learners and learning contexts. As you define your target audience, you’ll learn how to use learner personas as a communication tool with stakeholders and how these can be used to influence learning goals, assessments, and activities.
Explore theories of learning and motivation that inform design. You’ll be introduced to learning taxonomies for defining learning outcomes, such as Bloom’s taxonomy and Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning. You’ll take a closer look at design frameworks, such as Backward Design, Integrated Course Design, and the ADDIE model.
Next, you’ll see examples of conceptual tools that can be used to support ideation, brainstorming, and course outlining. This course will include an immersive activity in which you’ll join learning experience design colleagues to develop, refine, and present project plans to stakeholders. By taking this course, you’ll gain experience mapping out a course design from start to finish and be well equipped to continue on in the series.
For teachers in the state of Michigan: This series, "An Introduction to Learning Experience Design (LXD)," is approved in the state of Michigan for a maximum of 44.5 State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs) for teachers. The successful completion of all 3 courses in the series will be required to claim SCECHs.
In Week 1 of the course, you’ll focus on developing a vision of the learner and of the learning context. You’ll revisit ideas from learner-centered design and the “designing for all learners” mindset we discussed in course one. Using a design process frame, you’ll consider the kinds of information…
In Week 2 of the course, you’ll focus on different theories and perspectives on learning, and consider ways that these theoretical ideas can inform learning experience design. You will review ideas from overviews of three major learning theories: Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism. You wi…
In Week 3 of the course, you will look at different learning taxonomies (i.e., Bloom’s Taxonomy, Fink’s Taxonomy) that serve as ways of describing knowledge so that we can design learning experiences that include activities for learners that will help them gain that knowledge. You will also look at…
This week, you will explore the initial phases of the design process that involve brainstorming activities and developing the initial ideas for a new design. You will begin by looking at tools for these ideation and brainstorming activities. We will discuss conceptual tools and how they help articu…
