Join us for a deep dive into Learning Experience Design with Alexandre Enkerli.

We live and work in different domains, from interaction design to user research. Though we may collaborate to build solutions for shared problems, we don’t always share the same experiences. During this CapCHI session, Alex outlines how we can learn from one another as experts in a variety of contexts, while addressing some potential controversies along the way. Is “Design Thinking” a useful framing? What does work in Human-Computer Interaction have in common with Systems Design and with User Experience Writing?

As a practice domain situated between Instructional Design and User Experience Design, Learning Experience Design (LXD) will serve as a context for this exploration. Though products and solutions do come out of LXD, the field’s focus is on learning as a complex experience. As a group, we will try to develop a shared understanding of design as a learning experience.

DATE TIME: Tuesday, October 21, 2025, 6:00-8:00 pm.

LOCATION: In-Person Event at Impact Hub Ottawa (123 Slater Street, 7th floor, Ottawa, ON K1P 5H2).

  • NOTE: The venue is in a high-rise building, and the entry doors on the ground floor/street level lock automatically at 7pm.

AI is transforming the world. When we see a hybrid of intelligence, that is, human intelligence and AI, co-existing in our daily work and lives, should we be more excited or concerned? How do we mitigate the negative aspects of embracing AI and what type of control can we apply? Taking a forward-thinking approach, this talk aims to explore future directions in this new era and broaden the horizon of humans when working with machines.
