Think Like a NextGen LXD — the Starter Guide

What employers actually require now, drawn from real 2025–2026 ID/LXD job listings — and how to build on the expertise you already have instead of starting from zero.

A 20-page PDF. Yours to keep and share.

What's inside

Written for experienced instructional designers and learning experience designers — not beginners, and not tool hype.

Employer-language evidence

What real 2025–2026 job listings ask of ID/LXD professionals, in the employers' own words.

Build on what you know

How your existing learning-science foundation maps onto AI-era expectations — the through-line, not a restart.

Your most specific next step

Where to go deeper by dimension, with free tools to try before anything paid enters the picture.
