Climbing the Ladder of Design Expertise: A Combined Designers’ Reflection on Transdisciplinary Learning Design

In this chapter, we reflect on transdisciplinary learning design through a collaborative autoethnography approach. We share our professional journey, detailing how we are climbing the ladder of design expertise that allowed us to move gradually from disciplinary to interdisciplinary and to transdisciplinary design practice. We also share two abbreviated design cases from our recent work to demonstrate how we are operating in the transdisciplinary learning space. We conclude this chapter with a call of action to learning design educators, practitioners, and scholars on the importance of synergies in learning design to push the boundaries of innovation.
