Learning Experience Design and Training.

We design incredible learning experiences for our clients and teach others how to do the same!

Consistent High-Quality Learning Experiences With Our Proven Design Process.

Whether you need e-learning, a serious game, web app, escape room, or training, the steps in our design process remain the same. From the first ideas to the final design,  each step brings you closer to a memorable learning experience.

1. Question

We always start our design process by formulating the central question or challenge, which makes sure that we are heading in the right direction.

2. Research

There are at least two things we research before we can design a learning experience: the learner and the learning outcome.

3. Design

It's time to get creative! We generate good ideas and turn those ideas into designs that meet the project objectives.

4. Develop

During development we take our designs and turn them into actual experiences. With each design iteration we develop a more detailed and finalized version of the learning experience.

5. Test

But does the design even work? We put it to the test to find out if it appeals to the learner and if the learning outcome is achieved. With the feedback we improve our design and test again.

6. Iterate

With the valuable feedback of user tests we iterate and improve our design. This process repeats until the learning experience is perfect.

7. Launch

If the learning experience appeals to the learner and it achieves the goals from the first step, it is ready to launch!

What We Deliver.

Learning experience design consists of multiple disciplines and skills so it can be a bit overwhelming. To make it a bit more tangible, these are some of the experiences we deliver.

LX Design

Learning experience design is our field of expertise. Literally, because Niels Floor, owner of Shapers, came up with the term in 2007. Since then, we have been pioneering the field of LX design and perfecting our craft of creating amazing learning experiences.

Game Design

Games are great fun and a serious option for offering an engaging learning experience. We design games and playful experiences with the learner and their goals in mind. This ensures results that are both enjoyable and educational.

It was a great collaboration. Shapers listened to our needs and challenged our thinking. Thanks to this, obstacles were overcome, and the simplicity of the game was maintained.
