The ID Toolbox

NextGen AI Learning – The ID Toolbox is a free online collection of more than 50 practical tools designed to simplify the everyday work of instructional designers, course developers, educational technologists and digital learning professionals. Created by Curt Zilbersher, an experienced instructional designer, the platform focuses on solving common technical and production challenges in digital education. Users can find tools for planning and estimating course development, checking learning objectives, processing audio and video captions, improving accessibility, preparing translations, managing images and validating SCORM packages. The tools are organised around three stages: before development, during production and before publication. Each tool addresses a specific task and can be used directly in a web browser, without registration or payment. Files are processed locally rather than uploaded to a server. This is a particularly useful resource for improving production workflows, reducing repetitive work and ensuring the technical quality and accessibility of digital learning materials.

Should Podcasting Be Part of Your Learning Mix?

Should Podcasting Be Part of Your Learning Mix? is a 27-page, evidence-based discussion paper written by John Helmer, an experienced learning consultant and podcaster, published in September 2026. The paper examines the educational benefits and limitations of podcasting, drawing on research into learning, cognitive science and audience engagement. It explores where podcasts work best, their production costs, the implications of AI and ten practical questions to help organisations decide whether podcasting is appropriate. Who is it for? Educators, instructional designers, media producers, learning and development professionals, and decision-makers in higher education, vocational training and corporate learning. Why is it useful? It directly addresses the Association’s interest in effective educational media, providing a research-informed basis for discussing when and how podcasts add pedagogical value alongside video and other learning formats.  The paper is freely available to read and share.
