Here’s the marketing blurb: Learning Experience Design is, as author Clark Quinn puts it, about “the elegant integration of learning science with engagement”. With concise prose and concrete examples, this book provides the framework to take your learning experience designs from instructional to transformational! Why this book?

Collins & Brown’s Cognitive Apprenticeship (a favorite) is based upon integrating several different theories, including the Reciprocal Teaching, Alan Schoenfeld’s work on examples in math, and the work of Scardemalia & Bereiter on scaffolding writing. That explanation is then subject to further testing.

The intent is to provide a tool whereby organizations can understand what the possibilities are, assess themselves, and prioritize directions to move and improve. And we move to look at our approaches as platforms, and then integrate those platforms, and finally allow our systems to adapt as conditions change. .

Yet too often we see the elements just juxtaposed instead of integrated.

Similarly knowing why you want models and not just presentations about the concept isn’t fully realized.

I see LXD as the elegant integration of learning science with engagement. Together, I think these three workshops provide the knowledge foundations you need to run a L&D operation. So, that first part is about the larger performance ecosystem, and the second part is about learning experience design (LXD).
