Why this Course Matters
Learning systems shape every experience. Without empathy or strategy, even the best content can fall short. This course shows you how to build systems that are intuitive, sustainable, and truly centered on the learner.
Why I Created It
With a doctorate in Education and a background in cognitive science and instructional design, I built this course to give you more than theory. You’ll leave with a blueprint grounded in empathy, research, and real-world practice.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
- Understand how to apply empathy-driven Design Thinking in instructional systems design.
- Assess and articulate current strengths and areas of improvement within your instructional ecosystems.
- Integrate UX and multimedia learning principles to optimize your learner experience.
- Prototype and iterate solutions addressing systemic challenges.
- Develop practical strategies for effective management, auditing, and retirement of instructional assets.
