Summary

This article describes what a Learning Experience (LX) is and the 3 LX categories.

What is a Learning Experience (LX)?

A Learning Experience or LX is a type of Workplace Based Assessment (WBA) tool through which you record evidence of your professional practice at a chosen ANZCAP recognition level of Resident, Registrar or Consultant.

LXs are the building blocks used to build a recognition portfolio and achieve ANZCAP recognition.

LXs can also be used in a custom portfolio to share evidence of professional practice not included in a recognition portfolio.

Your LX Library contains all of your Learning Experiences.

Learning Experience (LX) categories

The three categories of LX are Autonomous, Collaborative and Endorsed.

The LX category indicates the workflow and sources used to guide feedback and reflection of the professional experience, i.e. how the LX is validated and completed.

  • Self-assessment

  • Self-reflection and goal setting

  • Collaborator assessment

  • Collaborator guided reflection/feedback, and goal setting

  • Peer-review or peer recognition

  • Self-reflection and goal setting

 

A collaborator is a professional colleague who has the expertise and scope of practice required to engage with the candidate on the specific professional experience being recorded in the LX.

While the collaborator will often be a pharmacy colleague, they may also come from another health discipline such as medical, nursing or allied health.

Learning Experience (LX) types

Each LX category contains a number of different types of Learning experiences. Each LX has its own tool available on the ANZCAP digital platform and a companion article providing guidance on how to complete it.

*Available to Australian ANZCAP members only

Learning Experience (LX) Library

The LX Library is your repository, within the ANZCAP digital platform, of all your LXs. This includes both in draft LXs and those which are complete, with search functions available for quick navigation.

LX are managed within the LX Library and can be allocated to a recognition portfolio or custom portfolios.

Unless deleted, LXs will always be available in your LX library, including after allocation to a recognition or custom portfolio and/or after expiry.

For further information on how to use your LX Library, including how to complete an LX, please refer to How to use the Learning Experience Library.
