Week 11: Experience Design (XD)

By Joyce Chan on November 13, 2016

Welcome to Week 11  on Experience Design.

Imagine a world where learning experiences engage all your senses.
Imagine a world where learning is a memorable experience.
Imagine a world where the learning moves beyond a mere transference of knowledge to become a shared learning experience for everyone.

 

Design is that thin layer that connects complexity to meaning.

-Alex Castellarnau – Dropbox, Head of Design

 

But before you get started, watch this Design Disruptor trailer and get excited for what’s to come!

Are you ready to start designing an experience?

 

In our Open Educational Resource on Experience Design, you will explore the topic of Experience Design (XD) in further detail.

In the spirit of experience design, we have created our OER on an unconventional learning platform, an online magazine, to provide you with a unique learning experience.  Click on the cover page of our digital magazine below to start your learning experience.

 

XD Magazine coverTo optimize your experience we suggest:

  • Viewing on a desktop computer; expand to full screen mode
  • Turning on your speakers for an aural experience
  • Look out for ‘hotspots’ to click on to engage the constructivist learner in you as your dig deeper, guided by your own interest.

 

At the end of the week we will summarize the results of our activities so we hope you participate and enjoy.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us by commenting below.

 

Happy Learning! 🙂

Joyce and Edwin, your Learning Xperience Designers

Hi Joyce and Edwin, I also loved a new way of presenting the information through a virtual magazine that you have chosen. I like hearing the sound of turning pages, being able to watch the videos and engage in the activities without leaving the magazine page. Although I have not tried Joomag yet, thank you for providing the feedback about the tool, its benefits and drawbacks. I appreciate you mentioning that viewing it on a desktop computer would optimize our experience. I explored it on a mobile device after reading it on a desktop computer. I have noticed that the first part of it worked perfectly including the first activity, however I encountered a few glitches while exploring the second half. Overall, it has been an exciting and interactive experience. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this Joyce and Edwin! I really enjoyed the "virtual magazine" presentation. Is this a tool I could use with my high school students -- meaning, do you think they would be capable of creating their own? This is neat and I want to explore it further. I appreciate how you used this tool to represent your presentation as it put my experiential design thinking cap on from the start. I am really interested in Experiential Design and find it to be such a giant field but I understand getting started with one experience (a digital story, a virtual magazine, any type of blended learning...) is a great start, Thanks again for a great presentation!
