Beyond Educators’ Personal Productivity: Co-Creating AI-Powered Learning Experiences, Grounded in Neurodidactics

Artificial intelligence applications can certainly help educators and L&D teams work faster by drafting outlines, generating quiz items, or polishing slide decks in minutes.

Useful, yes. Transformative? Not quite.

The real opportunity of AI is pedagogical: to finally realize what great educators have wanted for decades such as 1:1 tutoring at scale (Bloom’s two-sigma effect where the average student tutored one-to-one using mastery learning techniques performed two standard deviations better than students educated in a classroom environment), personalized pathways, adaptive quizzes, open-ended coaching discussions with instant feedback, live online simulations, and meaningful gamification.

This article sketches a practical vision for educators and AI: how to shift from “faster content” to deeper learning at scale, how to be co-creators with AI, how to implement these ideas inside existing SCORM content, how to accelerate motivation and knowledge retention, and how to do all these in a “compliance by design” way.

And yes! Come see it live: details for my OEB session and our Booth C70 are below.

From Faster Content to Deeper Learning

Most AI discussions in education start (and end) with educators’ productivity: writing content faster, summarising text, creating lesson plans, activities and quizzes, remixing impressive videos in minutes, plus plenty more “magic.”

But how about the pedagogical quality of the content produced by the various AI assistants? Can we afford the long-term risk of the “Content mediocrity”?

And even with human-in-the-loop review, we still have to ask: “Is the learner’s experience, and learning, actually improving”?

If learners also follow the same approach of convenience, drafting essays with LLMs and answering quizzes with AI support, we risk cognitive debt and habits of passivity. As Aristotle said, learning should not be easy.

So, with the help of AI agents and the current technology advancements, we as educators now have a unique opportunity, one we have been waiting for, to overcome what Bloom described in his 1984 2-sigma problem:

To co-create AI-powered learning experiences, meaningful, challenging, adaptive, and personalised, that deliver 1-to-1 tutor-level attention and support.

Consider these shifts:

• From one-size-fits-all to adaptive and personalised learning. Let learners progress based on prior knowledge and actual performance, not just at the LMS level, but inside each SCORM package (adaptive items, branching, and mastery checks).
• From content consumption to competence building. Provide on-demand learning, coaching, and instant feedback when it’s needed; deliver personalised challenges targeting gaps in competencies, and track evidence of skill, not just asset completion.

With these shifts, learning can become richer, more effective, and genuinely useful, keeping educators at the centre. And it all runs on your existing SCORM content, inside your LMS.

InSCORM AI: Some of the Innovations You Can Use Today

AI Chatbot (Knowledge Mentor): Inside the SCORM player, learners have access to a custom conversational AI Chatbot, to get answers on any relevant question on-demand and engage in meaningful content-related discussions, without leaving the LMS.

Adaptive AI Quiz: Practice can adapt in real time to each learner’s level and pace, with AI-generated questions mapped to competencies and clear, rubric-based feedback that shows how to improve, not just a score. Learners spend time where it matters, reach mastery sooner, and complete modules with genuine understanding.

Open-Ended AI Scenarios with Coaching: Learners rehearse critical thinking, problem solving judgment and communication in realistic, unscripted dialogues with a “persona” coach ranging from a helpful coach to Socratic prompts that deepen thinking. The coach responds instantly with real-time guidance and feedback, creating a safe-to-fail space that builds confidence and translates directly to better decisions at work.

Adaptive & Personalised Learning Pathways within SCORM: An AI-powered pre-assessment, aligned to a competency rubric, identifies what each learner already knows. The course then unfolds into mandatory and optional paths tailored to needs. To maintain standards, mastery is still verified at the end, blending human and AI instructional design decisions.

Co-Creation: Educators as Citizen Developers

AI hallucinates and rambles at times. It only amplifies learning when humans steer it in the right direction, through precise system prompts and guardrails.

Keeping educators “in the loop” anchors design in pedagogy, context, and ethics: you set intent, frame tasks, calibrate difficulty, monitor efficiency and interpret evidence, while AI handles orchestration, feedback, and adaptation. This human-centred approach protects learner experience, aligns activities with real learning outcomes, and ensures feedback isn’t only fast but meaningful, fair, and developmentally appropriate.

To achieve this, educators need not be just observers. You can act as a “Citizen Developer”. A citizen developer is a non-IT professional who can design and develop applications with Low Code and even No Code tools (LCNC). For educators, this is pivotal: it shifts innovation from IT into your hands. You can configure tutors, adaptive quizzes, simulations, and analytics without writing code, shortening iteration cycles, raising quality through rapid improvements, and keeping instructional intent at the core, in a safe and compliant environment.

How can you co-create with us using the inSCORM AI Hub?

Together we can build AI-powered SCORM learning content or just enhance your existing content with the power of AI. You define competency frameworks and performance levels; we translate them into mastery models and AI powered activities. You shape grading rubrics; we wire them to instant, rubric-aligned feedback. You craft coaching personas; we encode their tone and strategies. And side by side we author system prompts and guardrails, so the AI tutors, feedback coaches, and pathway orchestrators behave transparently, ethically, and always in service of your learning outcomes.

What is the inSCORM AI Hub and how does it work?

The inSCORM AI Hub platform orchestrates multiple specialised agents around an LLM of choice (e.g., GPT, Mistral, Gemini, Claude). A RAG vector database supplies organisational knowledge, approved learning content, and pedagogy assets such as competency frameworks. Each agent is shaped by system prompts that define its personas and roles (tutor, feedback coach, pathway orchestrator), while additional pedagogy tools, grading rubrics and gamification mechanics, anchor feedback to clear performance criteria and motivation neuroscience.

All agent interactions are supervised by a moderation/guardrail agent that inspects inputs and outputs to prevent unauthorised disclosures, unsafe responses, or off-policy behaviour. Controls include content filters, role restrictions and rules, supporting “compliance by design” without slowing down the learner experience.

Through our lightweight API, the Hub’s capabilities are embedded directly in your SCORM package, so AI features run inside your LMS’s SCORM player alongside existing content, within one coherent design. This powers the inSCORM AI innovations (Knowledge Mentor, Adaptive Quiz, Open-Ended Scenarios with instant, rubric-aligned feedback, and Personalised Pathways), while preserving standard SCORM tracking such as completion and score. The result: richer, adaptive learning, no platform switch, anonymous access, no disruption.

Compliance by Design

Our inSCORM AI features operate “in the moment.” We don’t retain learners’ names, emails, prompts, scores, IPs, or recordings in the AI layer. Progress tracking remains in your LMS using standard SCORM fields, with no identity passed back to the AI hub. The AI is used solely for tutoring, practice, hints, and coaching feedback. It doesn’t assess, certify, rank, or decide progression. Any summative assessment and advancement remain with you and your established processes.

This “compliance by design” approach aligns with the EU AI Act’s risk logic, minimising data exposure, avoiding automated high-stakes decisions, and keeping educators firmly in control.

How the Learning Brain can be facilitated by the AI-powered InSCORM AI

The learning brain is moved by motivation, not just content. AI lets you turn motivation science into daily practice: immediate, specific feedback and right-sized challenges create steady “wins” that keep dopamine flowing; gentle error messages and explainable guidance lower stress so working memory stays free. With adaptive scaffolding, tasks stretch just beyond current skill, the “flow” zone, so learners persist longer and remember more.

Personalisation fuels autonomy and confidence. Give learners meaningful choices, while transparent mastery dashboards and milestone badges reinforce progress and self-belief. A warm, mentor-style coach provides timely prompts and encouragement, so learners feel supported even when studying alone. This combination maps to Self-Determination Theory: competence (scaffolded tasks and clear feedback), autonomy (meaningful choice of path), and relatedness (supportive human & AI coaching) that together can drive intrinsic motivation and stronger retention.

Adaptive pathways end the one-size-fits-all problem and move us toward Bloom’s 2 sigma. Pre-checks can identify what learners already know based on structured competency-based rubrics; the system routes each person to remediation, practice, or acceleration, and still verifies mastery at the end. Time is spent where it matters most, weak spots are addressed early, and high performers aren’t held back. By personalising challenge, pacing, and feedback at scale, while you stay in the loop, AI brings the long-standing promise of near-tutor-level gains closer to everyday reality.
