Just wanted to put a good ol' fashioned shoutout to UX of EdTech into the LinkedIn world. I cannot say enough good things about the incredible designers (and humans) that we have been working with over the last few months. I learned so much from the stellar Product Designer, UX Writer and Design Advisor who worked tirelessly in expertly crafting our designs. Their ability to take our vision and literally breathe life into it is incredible. I have to admit, it was a weirdly emotional experience... Alicia Quan has created a hugely powerful community and an absolutely essential service for anyone building EdTech product.

🎧 Upskilling in Game Design I enjoyed chatting about The Sims, cheat codes, and moving past the “Big 5” of gamification (points, badges, leader boards, levels, progress bars) towards something more with: Chris Bennett, Game designer, Stanford invited lecturer, and EdTech advisor I ask two main things: • How can UX practitioners upskill in game design for a learning context? • What are your favorite resources related to game design? 📌 Subscribe and bookmark the UX of EdTech podcast below. #ux #edtech #gamedesign
