George Kalmpourtzis

I design Digital Learning solutions that learners actually complete — and that sustainably change behaviors.

For 19 years, I've combined instructional design, UX research, and game design to help organizations transform their digital training, products, and learning journeys into engaging, evidence-based experiences.

My specialty: applying UX research rigor to instructional design. Before designing an e-learning module, a serious game, or a platform, I study the people who will use it. This « learning experience design » approach makes the difference between content you endure and an experience you remember.

This method has led me to collaborate with Disney, the European Commission, Amadeus, Starbucks, and BNP Paribas, as well as major universities — and to lead the design of Tactileo Education, the LMS used in French schools by the Ministry of National Education.

Author of two books on instructional design, engagement, and gamification, I continue my research on human-AI interaction and game-based learning at the University of Côte d'Azur. I also contribute to R&I projects funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe).

My areas of expertise:

• Digital Learning strategy and design / digital training

• Instructional Design & e-learning design

• Gamification & serious games

• UX Research & strategy

• Human-AI interaction and AI applied to learning

• Design of EU-funded projects (Horizon Europe)
