What is a learning design platform?

A learning design platform is a tool that enables instructional designers, learning designers, educators and subject matter experts to plan, create, and refine courses or learning experiences before content development begins.

These platforms provide a structured approach to designing effective learning experiences, focusing on the learner's needs and aligning instructional strategies, activities, and assessments with desired learning outcomes.
