LearnGen L&D Helper
LearnGen is an AI-driven tool developed with instructional designers in mind. The prototype is designed to take various documents, be it software manuals, presentation slides, or a brief handout, and convert them into organized learning objectives and a corresponding course framework.
The Inspiration Behind LearnGen
Challenges with Existing Tools
I developed LearnGen in response to challenges I observed with existing generative AI tools being used for instructional design:
Accuracy Issues
While tools like ChatGPT are powerful, they can sometimes produce inaccurate or "hallucinated" content. In instructional design, accuracy is paramount.
Fragmented Content Creation
Many AI tools excel at generating individual content elements. However, integrating these elements into an aligned, cohesive learning module often falls on the designer.
Over-Automation
While fully-automated content generation is efficient, it can sometimes exclude valuable human expertise and quality checks.
LearnGen's Distinctive Approach
The Solution
LearnGen redefines content generation by anchoring its process in real-world documents. It seamlessly blends AI capabilities with a structured design process. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of human touch, ensuring a balance between automation and human expertise.
Benefits
- By directly extracting information from your provided documents, LearnGen guarantees content that's not only accurate but also resonates with the original material's intent.
- By mirroring the ADDIE process, LearnGen ensures content alignment, enhancing the overall quality of the output.
- LearnGen allows for human intervention, ensuring that the final output benefits from human expertise and quality assurance.
