The fourth and final session in the 2023-2024 GSOLE Webinar Series
This webinar begins with a discussion of definitions and terminology to orient attendees to the language and systems that exist within Learning Experience Design (LXD), Experience Architecture (XA), and accessibility. We will explore the breakdown of LXD and User Experience (UX) under the umbrella of Experience Architecture (see image below) and how these roles can exist and thrive within academic spaces. The workshop will also connect LXD to engagement in terms of getting students to engage with course content and learning outcomes. We feel that anyone can have and create an experience, but engagement gets people to stay, learn, focus, and connect. We will help our attendees understand and explore this concept as well. The webinar will ask participants to engage in a design challenge either in small groups or as a whole group (depending on the number of attendees). This design challenge will focus on creating a learning experience that focuses on engagement, accessibility, and takes into consideration the constraints of designing for a specific situation/course/content/field, and so on. The goal of the challenge will be to give attendees the opportunity to apply the fundamentals of LXD that will be explored at the beginning of the webinar. In doing so, attendees will be nudged to build systems and spaces that create experiences for their students to engage in course content and learning.
