Summary

This article describes what a Learning Experience (LX) is and the 3 Learning Experience (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 (e.g. Resident, Registrar, 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 therefore completed.
