LEARNER EXPERIENCE DESIGN:

Intentionally Building for Working Adults

Headline Image
WHITE PAPER

Design a learner experience to better serve post-traditional students.

Learner experience design has the power to equip students with the resources and support they need to be successful - or to hinder their progress and add stress. Which category does your institution fall into?

Guild Education has developed a framework that will enable you to evaluate your existing learner experience, identify pain points that exist for various student populations, and design new processes that better serve all students.

This report will provide valuable insight for higher education institutions looking to:

  • Identify and remove frictions that students encounter at their institution
  • Better support student success
  • Make their institution more inclusive and equitable for post-traditional students
