ILDF 2.0 Agentic Ecosystem

A suite of AI-powered practitioner tools organized across five phases of the Integrative Learning Design Framework — grounding every design decision in learning science, human judgment, and the perspectives of the people you are designing with.

A Cross-Phase Commitment

Designing with target populations — not just for them.

Every ILDF 2.0 tool includes a participatory design touchpoint — prompting practitioners to bring the voices, experiences, and perspectives of their learners and performers into the design process from Phase 1 onwards, not only at the evaluation stage.

Phase 1 — Informed Exploration · Now Available

Performance & Instructional Diagnosis

Before you design anything, determine whether training or instructional intervention is actually warranted.

A structured analysis grounded in Gilbert's BEM, Mager & Pipe, Rossett, and Cognitive Load Theory — producing a Learning Design Brief you can hand to a VP without apologizing for it.

Cause Analysis First

Six-cell BEM scan reveals whether the gap is environmental, motivational, or a genuine skill/knowledge problem — before you spend a dollar on content.

📋

Theoretically Defensible

Every finding cites a named framework. Gilbert (1978), Mager & Pipe (1984), Sweller (1988). Not “AI thinks.” Frameworks you can cite to leadership.

AI Affordances Mapped

If training is warranted, the brief maps which AI affordance — Reasoning, Memory, Agency, or Human-AI Collaboration — fits the gap type and why.

Phase 2 — Enactment · Now Available

AI Affordance Mapper

Once you know the intervention is warranted, pick your AI affordance — Memory, Reasoning, Agency, or Human-AI Collaboration — and get a structured design brief grounded in learning science, with a participatory design plan built in.
