We seem to know what “experience” is. But we fail to create experiences that impact results. 
 
Learning Experience (LEx) beliefs, practices and tools are distinct from the usual ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implement and Evaluate) methods. Experience is learning by discovery. ADDIE tends to be learning by instruction. The biggest challenge in designing Learning Experience Projects that impact performance is that we tend to use instruction toolkits, skills, and mindsets - not discovery and experimentation.  Furthermore, we have yet to evolve as designers into being architects for experiences. Naturally, there is a disconnect. This results in frustration. 
 
During and after this Pandemic, Learning Experience will continue to grab the attention of CLOs and leaders. It expands the capabilities of L&D away from the restrictions of old practices. 
 
This session will cover the following:

• What is Learning Experience (LEx) versus other learning methods?
• Why is it gaining popularity?
• Why is LEx helping in uncertain times during Pandemic and rapid recovery?
• What is the “5 Essential Learning Experience Process”?
• How do you recreate impactful Learning Experiences?
• What is the role of instructional design, technology and culture in LEx projects?
• What is the LExLABs Model?
