A new trend that forms the crux of this evolution is Learning Experience Design (LXD). This approach considers the learners perspective, creating immersive, personalized learning experiences that address employee requirements. But what does an LXD do, and how do they create significant learning experiences?

Whether you’re in the instructional design world and are familiar with cognitive load theory or on the content side of things, content overload has the same negative impact on workplace learning. Thirty minutes of learning at a time is pushing it to the max and should be the absolute cutoff. Sounds easy right?

I thought a learning style test was a nice ramp up for an exercise where people had to blog about their own facilitator style - from the idea that it is good to know your own preferences and biases as a trainer/facilitator. The same with blogging.
