Module 6: Real-World Projects | AI-Powered E-Learning

The Shift

Five modules of techniques. Examples. Practice.

Now: build something real.

Each project is scoped to finish in under 2 hours. You'll make decisions, hit obstacles, and produce deliverables you could hand to a client or stakeholder.

No more "I'll try this later." You're doing it now.

This Is for You If:

✓ You've learned AI techniques but haven't shipped anything yet
✓ You want to prove to yourself (or your boss) this actually works
✓ You have projects in your backlog that keep getting delayed
✓ You need confidence that AI accelerates real work, not just demos
✓ You're ready to move from practice to production

What You'll Build

🎯

Project 1: Microlearning Module

A complete 5-minute learning experience. Objective, scenario, assessment, job aid—done.

⏱️ 20 minutes

👥

Project 2: ILT Workshop

Facilitator guide, slide outline, and activities for a 2-hour instructor-led session.

⏱️ 15 minutes

📋

Project 3: Compliance Course

The Time Math

Project type	Traditional	With AI	Savings
Microlearning module	20-30 hours	2 hours	90%
ILT workshop (2 hrs)	40-60 hours	3-4 hours	93%
Compliance course	60-80 hours	8-10 hours	85%

AI doesn't replace your expertise. It eliminates the time-consuming parts—first drafts, formatting, iteration—so you focus on strategy, quality, and learner experience.

How Each Project Works

Every project follows this structure:

Step	What you do
The Challenge	A realistic scenario you'd face at work
The Workflow	Step-by-step process using AI
The Prompts	Actual prompts to copy and customize
The Output	What you'll have when done
Your Decisions	Where your ID expertise matters most

You're not watching. You're building.

The Reality Check

Perfect is the enemy of done.

These projects are scoped for completion, not perfection. You'll create 80% solutions in 20% of the time.

That's not settling. That's strategic.

Your SME review will catch gaps
Your pilot test will reveal improvements
Your Version 2 will be better

But Version 1 needs to exist first. That's what this module is about.

What You'll Need

Required:

Access to Claude, ChatGPT, or similar AI tool
A specific project in mind for Project 4
60-90 minutes of uninterrupted time
Willingness to ship imperfect work

Helpful but optional:

Google Docs or Word for drafting
Presentation software for ILT project
PDF tool for job aids

What You'll Get

Every project includes downloadable job aids:

Project scope worksheet
AI prompt checklist
Quality review criteria
Stakeholder communication template

Everything you need to repeat this process on your next project.

Stop Learning. Start Building.
