The Learning Experience Design (LXD) Certificate at Oregon State University helps to develop an online educational experience using the latest designs that help the learner succeed.

Learning experience design, also referred to as LXD and LX Design, is a unique way of approaching course and instructional design in a way that keeps the learner at the center. From the beginning of the design process, the learner and their needs are kept in mind to create the best possible experience for the user.

Learning experience design is at the intersection of the learning sciences, instructional design, design thinking and human-computer interactions. Building an effective learning experience is not about the designer and what they make. Rather, it's about the user and what they do.

Effective learning experience designers facilitate and develop an educational experience that helps the learner do awesome stuff and become awesome in the process.

This program is built off of the popular E-Learning Instructional Design and Development Certificate and will allow the ability to develop next-level skills to advance online education materials.

This program will allow me to:

• Learn essential insights on LX Design and how it differs from other approaches

• Research strategies and methods to engage my learners in a lifelong process of continuing their education

• Cover the latest trends and tools in e-learning that are changing the ways we think of online education and engaging with our learners

• Examine tools such as Articulate 360 in order to craft compelling digital learning environments

• Investigate UX/UI approaches as they relate to online education and consider how I can integrate these into my own materials
