Some books teach. Others inspire. Melissa Schuster's Learning Experience does both- and then goes a step further by transforming how you think about learning itself.
As an educator transitioning into instructional design, I was fortunate to have Melissa as a mentor. She helped me find my footing in the field, and reading this book feels like being mentored all over again- clear encourage, and grounded in real-world experience.

The Natural Learning Model reflects how people truly learn through lived experiences, not just lectures or slide decks. Melissa's approach to learner analysis, motivation, and reflective design brings clarity to a field that can often feel overwhelming.

Whether you're a teacher looking to modernize your approach, a new instructional designer finding your way or an experienced professional seeking fresh insights, Learning Experience is a must read. It's more than a guide- it's a mindset shift and practical toolkit for designing with purpose and heart.
