Prompts for Instructional Designers, Step by Step

Instructional design is full of first drafts, alignment checks, and small updates. This course shows you how to ask an AI for help without losing your voice or your standards.

Each lesson gives you prompts and a simple way to check the result. You will use them in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini on the projects you already have.

  1. The lessons
    1. Needs Analysis And Learner Research: Turn raw discovery input into clear audience insights and interview plans you can act on.
    2. Writing Learning Objectives: Write measurable, well-leveled objectives that hold up to assessment and standards review.
    3. Outlining Course Content: Build a coherent course structure with sequenced topics, curriculum maps, and realistic time estimates.
    4. Drafting Lesson Content: Produce first-draft lesson text, scenarios, and knowledge checks you can edit into finished content.
    5. Writing Assessments And Rubrics: Create aligned quiz items and rubrics, then verify every objective is actually measured.
    6. Multimedia And Storyboards: Turn your content into storyboard scripts, narration, and accessible text for media.
    7. Reviewing And Improving Materials: Audit and refresh existing materials for gaps, reading level, and outdated content.
    8. Evaluating Course Effectiveness: Make sense of feedback and plan evaluation questions and metrics that show real impact.
    9. LMS, Stakeholders, And Project Admin: Handle the surrounding work: LMS copy, SME interviews, project plans, and stakeholder updates.
  2. What The Course Covers

    The lessons follow the instructional design cycle from needs analysis to evaluation. You will work on objectives, outlines, lesson content, assessments, storyboards, reviews, and evaluation plans.

  3. How The Lessons Connect

    Each lesson builds on the one before it. Needs analysis shapes objectives, objectives shape outlines, outlines shape lessons and assessments, and reviews and evaluation close the loop.

  4. How To Use The Prompts Well

    Bring real, de-identified details: the learner group, the setting, the constraints, and the outcome you need. Ask for options, then edit with your professional judgment. The prompts are starting points, not final answers.

  5. Who This Course Is For

    Instructional designers, learning experience designers, trainers, and curriculum developers can use this course. It works for school, company, and online learning projects.

  6. Safety And Privacy For This Job

    Learner data, employee records, and unpublished course content need care. Use approved tools, remove names and identifying details, and follow your organization's rules. When in doubt, ask before you paste.

  7. Your Next Step

    Pick one lesson and try it on a current project this week. Then move through the rest in order and keep a small file of prompts that work for you.
