"UX creation is essential because its purpose is to help learners easily navigate through digital learning modules and classes without getting confused. The learner shouldn’t have to think about the learning process—the learning material should guide them through the module or class. But this is easier said than done.

This is why there are five basic points every instructional designer should keep in mind when designing modern digital learning classes."
