Learning Design Toolkit

A structured collection of frameworks, prompts, and evaluation tools I use when designing learning solutions.

Learning Design Frameworks

Models I use to structure learning design and evaluation.

ADDIE Model

Used for structuring learning design projects from analysis to evaluation.

SAM Model

Useful for iterative development and fast feedback cycles in design work.

Kirkpatrick Model

Helps evaluate learning outcomes beyond satisfaction and completion rates.

Holton Model

Useful for understanding the factors that influence training transfer.

Design ADDIE / SAM
Measurement Kirkpatrick
Transfer Holton

You can design learning interventions using the ADDIE and SAM models, evaluate their effectiveness through the Kirkpatrick framework, and diagnose transfer-related challenges using the Holton model.

It supports a systematic cycle of design → delivery → measurement → continuous improvement.

analysis

Needs Analysis Toolkit

Questions I use to understand performance problems before designing learning.

Key questions

  • What performance gap are we solving?
  • Who are the learners?
  • What constraints exist?
  • What does success look like?

objectives

Writing Learning Objectives

Simple structure for writing measurable learning objectives.

Learning Design Checklist

Before launching a learning solution:

  • Define performance outcome
  • Identify learning objectives
  • Select learning method
  • Plan evaluation
  • Plan transfer support
