In this episode, Megan and Meg explore the concepts of empathy mapping and learner personas. They discuss the differences and similarities between the two tools, their uses, and how they can help better understand the perspectives and needs of learners. Megan shares insights on how empathy maps focus on the person's perspective of the world, while learner personas concentrate more on individual characteristics and experiences.

Key Discussion Points:

• Learner personas and empathy maps: different tools, same goal.
• Choose the tool that is right for your situation, organization, or discipline.
• Use templates and resources — no need to create you own!
