Learning Experience Design
October 1, 2021
Learning experience design is the new frontier in instructional design. Designers take a holistic and learner-centered approach to designing educational experiences, one that considers learning outcomes, motivation and learning environment efficacy.
The MS in Learning Experience Design at GPS provides students with a hands-on experience utilizing the User-Experience (UX), User Interface (UI) and Instructional Design (ID) principles and techniques needed to advance in the field. Upon degree completion, students are equipped to:
Design and curate learning resources that enhance learner retention and application while aligning to principles of universal design for learning and accessibility standards.
Create and deliver high-quality programs and interactive learning experiences in a variety of industry and educational settings.
Use data analytics, learner and contextual analysis and interface design assessment to evaluate learning experience and resolve educational challenges.
When we asked Dharini Parthasarathy, an MS in Learning Experience Design student, about the program, she said:
“Brandeis GPS aligned perfectly with my needs and goals. In addition, the Brandeis GPS Learning Experience Design program connects directly to my current work and future professional goals. I’ve been able to take many courses with the same set of students, developing a sense of community. My advisor has been an amazing resource and support, working with my idea of an academic plan. The professors and courses have been extraordinary, with plenty of application- and project-oriented experiences.”
The GPS community extends beyond our online classrooms. Students have the opportunity to expand their professional circles and build meaningful connections with our faculty, program chairs, and advisory board members. In addition, our programs are designed to help students balance a graduate education with a full-time job and other professional, academic, or personal commitments.
