Engineering Learning Experiences
by Zach
Engineering Learning Experiences is a show about the loop behind every learning experience: design it, build it, watch what learners actually do, use that data to improve it, and go again. Hosted by Zach, a designer and developer moving into learning engineering, each episode works through a real problem from somewhere in that cycle, from deciding what learner activity to record to using AI in the build without losing control of the result. It’s learning science put into practice, and kept in practice, one iteration at a time.

Discerning Decisions When Designing and Building with AI
Everybody’s pitching AI like it’s magic. Describe the thing, let it generate, ship it. That gets you part of the way there. It’s a piece of the process, not the whole thing. Underneath all the new terms, I keep landing on the same pattern: discern decisions, record them, enforce them. This…

Branching trap: Stopped building screens and started building a simulation
Everyone who has built a branching scenario has hit the wall where one more path breaks multiple others. I tell the story of changing the mental mode I had. It meant going from thinking about writing paths and moving to making rules for actions to happen. Write the rules once, keep them fixed…

Record learner activity, not what happened
A lot of ID textbook says decide what evidence you need before you build. I didn't, and it worked anyway. Why building fast let the events come out of the patterns, the edge cases that forced the real decision, and the rule I landed on: record the learner's action, never the consequences the…

Engineering learning, not just designing it
I built a scenario-based course, got it to the finish line, and realized it was a fancy quiz. I tried to fix that with measurement and learned that data can't add nuance that isn't in the experience. This episode is what learning engineering is, why the feedback loop is so important, and why I'm...
