What is it?
What is the LXD:Origins course?
In the 20 years that we've been operating we've completed hundreds of learning design projects and have won more than our fair share of international awards. Over this time we've refined our ways of working based on hard-won experience and a curious, problem-solving mindset. The LXD:Origins course is your opportunity to learn some of this.
LXD stands for Learning Experience Design and ‘Origins’ is because we cover the first few steps you need to undertake your learning experience design project like a pro.

What will I learn?
In LXD:Origins you will learn to:
- Take account of the limits of human memory and attention in your learning designs
- Define the problem or opportunity your learning project needs to address
-Better understand and so meet your audience's needs
- Maximise your personal creativity to generate more effective learning solutions
Note that LXD:Origins won't teach you to design a digital learning module, game, portal or blend in detail - nor how to use an elearning author tool. It will teach you to get your learning design projects off to the right start every time.

“In a short time, we were able to reflect and learn from Rob. The content was just right. Rob is a great facilitator, knowing his topic and is very clear when presenting it. All topics were interesting: understanding the expectations, memory and creativity. This short program is really well crafted”
