Designing Digital Learning - Module 5, Learner-centred design

Описание: How do we design learning experiences that truly centre the learner—rather than just talk about it?

In this video, we explore what learner-centred design really means in practice, and why it’s more than a buzzword. I reflect on the evolving expectations of learners across generations—from digital natives to those who remember life pre-internet—and explain how personalisation, flexibility, and empathy now shape what learners expect from digital education.

I introduce the human-centred design principles that underpin our work at Oppida and show how design thinking—particularly the empathise and define stages—can be used to better understand and serve learners. From data analysis to persona development, this is where learner-centred design begins: not with content, but with people.

This video is for learning designers and educators who want to create online learning that feels personal, purposeful, and accessible—regardless of platform or learner background.

In this video, we explore:
How generational shifts shape learner expectations
Why learner-centred design stems from human-centred design principles
What the empathise and define stages of design thinking look like in action
Why understanding your learners should shape every design decision
