Learning Lab
Analysis of learning and university education from a user experience perspective.
Learning Lab examines learning and university education using research, public data, and close analysis of how courses are experienced by students.
Much of the work centres on postgraduate education in Australia, with particular attention to learning design, delivery mode, and online study. The site also includes broader commentary where it helps illuminate how education works.
- Course and program analyses
- Learning mode and delivery comparisons
- Commentary on postgraduate and online education
Learning Lab analyses are developed independently, but many begin with reader suggestions.
Our Approach
Learning Lab approaches education as something to be examined rather than described. Analyses draw on publicly available information, including course documentation, policy material, and reported data, but focus on how these elements come together for students.
Particular attention is given to course structure, delivery mode, assessment design, and learning platforms. Where information is fragmented or unclear, that uncertainty becomes part of the analysis. The aim is to make the shape of a course more visible before students commit time and resources.
