However, the success of e-learning solutionsmainly depends on how effectively they meet users’ needs and expectations.Designing the User Experience (UX) is a crucial aspect of developing e-learningproducts. To incorporate UX strategies into projects, clear understanding andcommunication are vital among Instructional Designers (IDs), stakeholders, andSubject Matter Experts (SMEs). This article explores this relationship, focusing onthe connection between UX and Instructional Design (ID) in e-learning projects.By examining the principles and practices that create effective UX in ID, we aimto recommend strategies that boost learner engagement, satisfaction, and overalleducational outcomes. Through detailed analysis of current trends, case studies,and expert insights, a tool has been developed to help interpret UX elements duringe-learning project development. The goal of this article is to create a roadmap foreducators, designers, and developers committed to producing impactful, usercenterede-learning experiences. Additionally, it seeks to develop and validatea tool to assess Instructional Designers’ approach to stakeholder discussions whenbeginning an e-learning project. It also aims to propose a model to evaluate howmuch project planning emphasizes UX design.
