How can I create in-person learning that engages people? How can I build digital learning that is effective? How can I develop learning content that can be used remotely and ensure that the learning sticks? Learning Experience Design has the answers to all these questions and more. This book is a practical guide for all learning and development (L&D) professionals. It covers everything from what learning experience design (LXD) is, the role of the L&D professional in LXD, and what the main areas to consider when designing learning are including emotion, attention, memory, engagement, enjoyment, transfer, practice and learning retention. It includes practical advice for all areas of learning design including text, graphics, audio, visual, simulations, AR/VR, question and social design. There is also essential guidance on instructional design, UX (user experience) design and how to design effective learning analytics. The final part of the book covers design thinking, blended learning and discussion of LMSs (learning management systems), LXPs (learning experience platforms) and LRSs (learning record stores). With examples, tips, case studies and advice throughout, this is an invaluable book for anyone wanting to make an impact with their learning design and ensure knowledge, skills and performance improvement.

Learning technology is now an integral part of all learning and development activity. Understanding what these technologies are, how they work and their aims is key to successful L&D practice. Learning Technology is written by a leading voice in the learning tech industry. It explains the history of learning tech, its aims and how it is the fundamental technology that has driven learning, culture and progress. This book covers everything from writing to printing, broadcast media, teaching technology as well as detailed discussion of learning management systems (LMSs), learning experience platforms (LXPs) and learning record stores (LRSs). It also highlights the importance of data and analytics and covers the latest developments in the learning technology space including artificial intelligence, virtual reality and the metaverse. Learning Technology helps L&D professionals assess and better understand learning platforms and teaching technologies, both past and present. it supports this by evaluating the benefits of each technology. It also provides insights into the future of work and learning and offers a comprehensive overview and detailed exploration of the topic.

What is the metaverse? Will it really happen? How will it affect learning and development (L&D)? Where do I start?Learning and the Metaverse explains where the Metaverse came from, what it is, where it is going, debunks the myths and demystifies the jargon. It shows how it can be used to improve training and learning activities. Written by a learning technology expert with more than 35 years'' experience, this book explains what this shift from 2D to 3D learning involves and what it means for you as a learning professional. It analyses the evidence for effective learning in 3D and explains what works and what doesn''t. There is also guidance on designing training that can be used in the Metaverse and why it''s important to consider how people learn when doing this. This book includes discussion of the Metaverse and broader education as well as coverage of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), immersive technology and learning simulations. This guide contains everything learning professionals need to know about learning and the Metaverse.

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) creating huge opportunities for learning and employee development, how can learning professionals best implement the use of AI into their environment?Artificial Intelligence for Learning is the essential guide for learning professionals who want to understand how to use AI to improve all aspects of learning in organizations. This new edition debunks the myths and misconceptions around AI, discusses the learning theory behind generative AI and gives strategic and practical advice on how AI can be used.This book also includes specific guidance on how AI can provide learning support, chatbot functionality and content, as well as ideas on ethics and personalization. This book is necessary reading for all learning practitioners needing to understand AI and what it means in practice.

Artificial intelligence is creating huge opportunities for workplace learning and employee development. However, it can be difficult for L&D professionals to assess what difference AI can make in their organization and where it is best implemented. Artificial Intelligence for Learning is the practical guide L&D practitioners need to understand what AI is and how to use it to improve all aspects of learning in the workplace. It includes specific guidance on how AI can provide content curation and personalization to improve learner engagement, how it can be implemented to improve the efficiency of evaluation, assessment and reporting and how chatbots can provide learner support to a global workforce.Artificial Intelligence for Learning debunks the myths and cuts through the hype around AI allowing L&D practitioners to feel confident in their ability to critically assess where artificial intelligence can make a measurable difference and where it is worth investing in. There is also critical discussion of how AI is an aid to learning and development, not a replacement as well as how it can be used to boost the effectiveness of workplace learning, reduce drop off rates in online learning and improve ROI. With real-world examples from companies who have effectively implemented AI and seen the benefits as well as case studies from organizations including Netflix, British Airways and the NHS, this book is essential reading for all L&D practitioners needing to understand AI and what it means in practice.
