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.
