Learning Design Australia
Learning design is the practice of designing, developing and implementing learning experiences. It is an approach that considers how people learn, in order to create engaging, efficient and effective training programs that achieve specific learning outcomes.

Learning design encompasses a range of delivery methods, including:
Face-to-face training
Blended learning
Programs can range from a series of 5-minute learning ‘bites’ to a 30-minute workshop (typically with pre- and post-work) or a four-year course.
Why is learning design important?
Effective learning design results in:
Deeper understanding
Improved performance
Learning transfer and embedding
Increased learner engagement and love of learning
Achievement of goals and objectives
Increased ROI
Reduced costs
Consistent learner experience and capability development across an organisation
Improved employee retention and employee value proposition
Continuous improvement of programs through regular evaluation

Learning design process
There are a number of learning design models, including Merrill’s Principles of Instructional Design and the ADDIE Model.
The ADDIE Model follows a five-phase process:
Analyse
Firstly, Learning Designers complete a Learning Needs Analysis (LNA) to pinpoint capability gaps – knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours learners need to develop to proficiently complete tasks. They then propose potential learning solutions.
Design
Secondly, Learning Designers create a learning architecture – a sequence of learning experiences and strategies to meet the learning need and build capability. This may include a variety of delivery methods, including face-to-face workshops, coaching, self-paced learning, simulations, group work and eLearning. They create a high level design to outline the learning experiences.
Develop
The third step is the development of learning materials. This includes the session plans, workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, handouts, job aids, eLearning, program evaluation tools and any other supporting material required for the program.
Implement
The program goes to pilot!
Evaluate
Lastly, feedback gathered via the evaluation tools is analysed to assess the program’s effectiveness and determine areas for improvement.
