behavior design
101.

An interactive micro-lesson that adapts to your role and experience level. Personalized framing, active recall, role-specific scenarios, and a designer's annotation track running alongside. This is what behavior-driven learning design looks like in practice.

try it

the interactive micro-lesson

Tell the system who you are and how you work. Watch the content adapt in real time — different framing, different depth, different scenario.

what this demonstrates

the problem

Most digital learning is one-size-fits-all — same content, same depth, same examples regardless of who the learner is.

the demonstration

How a micro-lesson can adapt its framing, depth, and scenarios in real-time based on a few simple learner inputs — role and experience level.

design techniques

Branching logic, text-based personalization, tap-to-reveal active recall, role-specific scenarios, and open-ended reflection with contextual framing.

the annotation track

Watch for the designer's notes alongside each step — they surface the design decision and its rationale. This is the thinking behind the thing.

limitations & what's next

personalization depth

Adapts by role and experience, but doesn't yet adjust based on learner performance within the session (true adaptive learning).

active recall

Tap-to-reveal tests recognition. Genuine retrieval practice would ask learners to generate answers before seeing them.

practice volume

One scenario per role. Real mastery requires varied practice across multiple contexts and situations.

transfer

The reflection is open-ended. A stronger design would include a concrete action plan tied to the learner's actual work.
