Course Design with Learning Engineering: Build Data-Informed Learning

Creating an impactful course requires more than just compiling content; it demands a systematic, evidence-based approach to how people actually learn. This course introduces you to the field of learning engineering, combining instructional design with data-driven insights. You will transition from intuitive course creation to engineering measurable learning experiences. By understanding how to align learning objectives with assessments and analyze learner data, you will design courses that consistently deliver real, verifiable outcomes. What you'll learn: Understand the core principles of learning engineering and cognitive science; Apply backward design to align learning objectives, assessments, and content; Analyze learner performance data to identify gaps and optimize course materials; Design effective formative and summative assessments that measure real capability; Implement modern accessibility standards to ensure inclusive learning experiences; Practice iterative course improvement using basic learning analytics frameworks. You will start with foundational terminology and learning science models before progressing to practical, text-based exercises on mapping curricula and analyzing simulated student data. This course is designed for aspiring instructional designers, educators, and L&D professionals looking for a systematic, data-informed approach to course creation. No prior experience in learning engineering or data analysis is required. Start engineering courses that truly work today.
