Free resources
The stuff I use, shared freely.
Written for the people who fund and defend training, not just build it: frameworks and templates that lead with the decision, keep the primer tucked away, and assume you know your way around L&D. No email gate — take what's useful.
Quick grabs
Read in two minutes. Copy what's useful, skip the rest.
xAPI in plain English
The ninety-second version of what a Learning Record Store buys you — for the leader deciding whether the data layer is worth funding.
OpenThe 6 questions that save a training project
Ask these before you fund anything. Fuzzy answers at kickoff become fuzzy training at launch — this is the cheapest moment to find out.
OpenA swipe file of coaching nudges
Six short messages for the moments a dashboard surfaces — copy, tweak, send. Warm and specific, never preachy.
OpenTurn an SME brain-dump into a scenario
Three copy-paste prompts that take a messy subject-matter interview and hand back a decision-based scenario — not a wall of bullet points.
OpenDeep dives
Interactive guides for when you want the whole picture.
Claude for L&D, an interactive guide
What Skills and MCP unlock, and what an L&D team can actually build with AI — an interactive guide with a five-day ramp plan.
The Five-Phase Framework, a working template
Discover, Design, Build, Deliver, Measure — the version I run actual engagements on, with the questions I refuse to skip at each gate.
Kirkpatrick L1–L4 planning canvas
The one page I fill in with a sponsor before anything gets built — a shared definition of 'it worked,' wired to xAPI evidence instead of argued about at the next audit.
Have something you want me to build?
If there's a template, prompt, or interactive pattern you'd use, tell me. A lot of what ends up here started as a request.
