Designing Meaningful User Experiences: Interactive Learning Experience Model

User Experience Design (UXD) addresses the increasing importance of emotional aspects in user product interaction and aims at creating holistic experiences. While UXD is a rather young field within product development, other disciplines outside engineering design (e.g. gaming, sports) traditionally focus on fascinating their users. Based on the approach of transferring insights from experience focused disciplines to UXD we aim at specifying the experience trigger “Learning”. Starting with analysis of general learning theory, we developed the “Interactive Learning Experience Model”. This model supports analysis and concept development for meaningful learning experiences in user product interaction. We applied and initially validated the model in a product development project for dish care concepts.     «
