D297 Designing E-Learning Experiences for Adults (LXD 6050, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the first of the two Adult Learning Designer pathway courses in the M.Ed. Education Technology and Instructional Design, seated in term 2 of the 32-CU Adult Learner specialization and term 3 of the 38-CU both-specializations table, with Learning Technology (D294) stated as its prerequisite. Per the published description it teaches best practices for supporting adult learners as they acquire knowledge, skills, and dispositions; explains collaborative, experiential, and transformative design approaches; explores problem-based and competency-based approaches; and grounds each evidence-based approach in theory, research, and real examples. Coursework Ninja completes D297 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, D297 is where the adult track starts building: the first of two courses in the adult learning designer pathway. It teaches best practices for supporting adult learners as they acquire knowledge and learn new skills and dispositions, explains effective approaches to designing learning experiences for adults that are collaborative, experiential, and transformative in nature, and explores problem-based and competency-based approaches to designing learning experiences for adults. Every evidence-based approach in the course is defined and supported by theory and research, and the description promises real examples of each approach. Learning Technology is a stated prerequisite.
The term placement splits by table, and it is worth reading your own plan carefully: the 32-CU Adult Learner specialization (MEDETIDA 202312) seats D297 in term 2 beside D292 and D298, while the 38-CU both-specializations table (MEDETID 202312) holds it to term 3 beside D298 and the D299 design lab. The K-12 table never carries it. No D297A certificate variant exists in the current catalog, so the code always means this degree course. Tell us the code and which table your plan follows, and we fix the price in writing first.

Coverage
What D297 completion covers
Supporting adult learners
The description's base: best practices for supporting adult learners as they acquire knowledge and learn new skills and dispositions. Dispositions are named alongside knowledge and skills, and scored work covers all three.
Collaborative, experiential, transformative design
The description's three approach families for adults, each one to be designed deliberately. A deliverable that treats them as synonyms loses the distinctions the rubric grades.
Problem-based and competency-based approaches
The description's second axis: problem-based and competency-based designs for adults, each defined and supported by theory and research. The scored habit is naming the approach and citing its evidence base.
Real examples
The description promises real examples of each approach, and the tasks echo it: designs grounded in recognizable workplace or higher-education scenarios, not hypothetical perfection.
Full degree plan integration
D297 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining M.Ed. list it folds into the flat $3,500 master's package with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.

Bottlenecks
Where D297 stalls adult-track designers
D297 stalls corporate designers who already build training and discover the course grades the theory under the build, and teachers crossing to the adult track with K-12 instincts. These are the stalls we take over most often.
- Approach names used interchangeably when the description separates collaborative, experiential, and transformative as distinct design families.
- Problem-based and competency-based designs written without the theory and research support the description requires of each approach.
- Adult learner needs assumed from the designer's own preferences instead of evidence-based practice.
- Experience-first deliverables that skip the dispositions leg of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions trio.
- Term-planning confusion on the combined path, where D297 waits until term 3 while the Adult Learner table runs it in term 2.

Questions, answered
Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Designing E-Learning Experiences for Adults (LXD 6050, 3 CUs) is the first of two courses in the adult learning designer pathway. It teaches best practices for supporting adult learners as they acquire knowledge and learn new skills and dispositions, explains approaches that are collaborative, experiential, and transformative in nature, and explores problem-based and competency-based approaches, each evidence-based approach defined and supported by theory and research with real examples. Learning Technology (D294) is a stated prerequisite.
Per the current catalog, two tables inside the M.Ed. Education Technology and Instructional Design: term 2 of the 32-CU Adult Learner specialization (MEDETIDA 202312, beside D292 and D298) and term 3 of the 38-CU both-specializations path (MEDETID 202312, beside D298 and D299). The K-12 specialization runs D295 and D296 instead. If your degree plan shows LXD 6050, this is the course.
The catalog description states that Learning Technology is a prerequisite for this course, meaning D294 (LXD 5071). The tables honor it: D294 sits in term 1 everywhere, and D297 follows in term 2 or term 3 depending on the track.
No. The Learning Design and Technology certificate runs A-suffixed variants of D291 through D294 only, and the current catalog shows no D297A. LXD 6050 exists only inside the M.Ed. adult pathways.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. The description centers designed adult learning experiences argued from theory and research, and we confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake. The fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining master's list, the master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
No. Coursework Ninja is an independent paid completion service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Western Governors University. WGU provides its own instructors, mentors, and evaluators; we are separate, for students who want this course finished on a fixed date.
