Abstract

The Problem Learning designers are central to employee capability transformations, and their contributions became invaluable during Covid-19. Resultantly, jobs for learning experience (LX) designers became more noticeable. Yet not much is known about LX designer skills. While there are assumptions that a LX designer may be similar to an instructional designer or technologist, there is no empirical evidence. The Solution In defining the skills of an LX designer, the employer’s voice is essential. In this study, we applied a case study design and examined 25 LX designer job announcements (JAs) across eight industries. The Stakeholders Through this study, employers can introspect on the development of their JAs and their expectations of LX designers. Professors who teach learning and instructional design courses can strengthen their course content alignment with the LX designer skillset. Researchers can use the suggested studies to further the LX designer discourse.
学习体验设计师技能集:雇主期望
问题学习设计师是员工能力转型的核心,他们的贡献在Covid-19期间变得非常宝贵。因此,学习体验(LX)设计师的工作变得更加引人注目。然而,我们对LX设计师的技能知之甚少。虽然有假设认为LX设计师可能类似于教学设计师或技术专家,但没有经验证据。在定义LX设计师的技能时,雇主的声音是必不可少的。在这项研究中,我们采用了案例研究设计,并检查了8个行业的25个LX设计师招聘公告(JAs)。通过这项研究,雇主可以反思他们的JAs的发展和他们对LX设计师的期望。教授学习和教学设计课程的教授可以加强他们的课程内容与LX设计师技能集的一致性。研究人员可以使用建议的研究来进一步推进LX设计师话语。
