Overview
Learning isn’t one-size-fits-all, yet many learning experiences are still designed around assumptions about what people need, how they learn, and what will engage them. Human-Centred Learning Design shifts the focus from designing learning for people to designing learning with a deeper understanding of the people it is intended to support.
This interactive workshop introduces the principles of human-centred learning design and explores practical ways to understand learners before developing learning experiences. Participants will examine how learner context, motivations, behaviours, challenges, environments and diverse needs can influence how people engage with learning.
Through simple research, empathy and discovery techniques, participants will learn how to gather meaningful insights about their learners and use those insights to inform learning design decisions. They will also explore how assumptions and unconscious biases can shape existing learning programs, and identify opportunities to challenge these assumptions and design more effectively around real learner needs.
Using practical activities, scenarios and examples, participants will explore how to translate learner insights into more engaging, relevant and inclusive learning experiences. They will leave with practical tools and approaches they can apply immediately to better understand their audiences, identify barriers to learning, and create experiences that are more meaningful and effective for the people they are designed to support.
