Browser-based tools
Try practical learning design tools directly in the Lab — diagnostics, decision aids, scenario practice, feedback coaches, and workflow support.
What you’ll find here
Explore, adapt, and build better learning interactions.
The free tools show what practical interaction patterns can look like. The Playbook helps you decide which pattern fits your problem and how to adapt it — without turning interaction into decoration.
Pattern-to-build guidance
The Interactive Learning Design Playbook helps you choose the right pattern, adapt it to your context, and plan a useful tool before you build.
Tools by learning problem
Browse tools by the job you need the interaction to do: diagnose, decide, practice, coach, map, or support the work.
Operator Console
Find the tool by the learning problem.
Choose the design job or search the live index. The grid updates so the page behaves like an operating surface, not a never-ending resource wall.
Systems + Visuals
Make the invisible system easier to see.Lab Protocol
Don’t start by shopping for interaction.
Start with the work. What needs to change? Then choose the design move that helps someone decide, practice, notice, recover, or use support at the right moment.
Diagnose before you build+
Decide whether the problem is really about knowledge, practice, feedback, workflow support, incentives, confidence, or transfer.
Choose the closest interaction pattern+
Use the Lab to find a reusable structure that fits the learning problem. A tool is useful only if it solves the right job.
Adapt the structure+
Borrow the structure, not the soul. Your context, learners, constraints, and judgment still matter. Weird how that works.
Use Studio when the work needs a workflow+
Design Lab stays free and practical. Studio goes deeper with guided workflows, editable outputs, critique routines, and saved project support.
