AI Hype.
Learn how to connect and apply learning science to design AI-enabled experiences that support learning and performance.
Learning science first. AI second. Always.
Most "AI for L&D" advice skips the part where you already know something important: how people actually learn. AI4LD starts there - with cognitive load theory, evidence-based design, and performance support frameworks - and builds AI into that foundation.
- Cognitive Load Theory applied to AI-enabled experiences
- Gilbert's BEM and Mager & Pipe performance frameworks
- Ethical AI grounded in how people actually retain knowledge
Practical enough for today.
Grounded enough to last.
AI tools change every six months. Learning science doesn't. AI4LD bundles are designed to remain useful as the technology evolves - because they're rooted in the durable principles of how humans learn.
- Focused microlearning you can apply immediately
- Evergreen access - no subscriptions, you own it permanently
- Expert-guided video series with real L&D scenarios
AI Design Companions and Apps to support your design process.
Purpose-built AI companions and interactive apps that support a systematic instructional design and design research process — with the human designer in the loop at every stage. Each tool has structured internal reasoning grounded in instructional design theory and learning science. Chained together as a system in the Practitioner Stack — journey artifacts and gate outputs flowing from one phase to the next — the ecosystem is agentic; individually, each tool is a companion you direct, not an autonomous agent. Agentic features across turns are in active development for the next bundle.
- Is It a Training Problem? - analysis app using Gilbert BEM + Mager & Pipe + CLT
- LXD Evidence Assistant - runs a multi-step research task on its own, then hands you the synthesis for L&D
- ILDF 2.0 Agentic Ecosystem - a chained system across 5 design phases (coming soon)
- More tools in development - additional companions and apps across the full design process
AI should amplify what learning science already knows - not replace it.
A great site and a great concept! I ran the LXD Evidence Assistant App and it works great! It gave me recommendations, measurement plan and references! It made all this work in no time!
AI4LD leverages AI technology and educational resources to marry learning design theory and practice, providing learning design professionals with a more streamlined avenue for generating learning solutions.
