ADDIE + AI: Instructional Design in Practice
Episode 1: Identify Performance Gaps
ADDIE Phase: Analyze
Before you design anything, you have to know what’s actually broken, this episode walks through the first step of the ADDIE process, identifying the performance gap, using a real volunteer onboarding scenario for an animal rescue organization. Watch how AI gets used as a live thinking partner to move from a vague problem statement to a clearly defined gap analysis in minutes, not hours.
Episode 2: The Learner Persona
ADDIE Phase: Analyze
You can’t build effective training if you don’t know who you’re building it for. This episode covers how to develop a learner persona that actually drives design decisions, not just a checkbox exercise, but a tool that shapes every choice that comes after it. Includes a live walkthrough of how AI is used to build a detailed, realistic personal grounded in the needs of the actual learner population.
