Traditional authoring tools have made it easier to build eLearning, but they also impose limits. Instructional designers, trainers, and content creators often find themselves constrained by predefined templates, interaction types, and feature sets that prevent them from fully bringing their ideas to life. When a desired interaction falls outside those built-in capabilities, creating it has historically required programming knowledge or accepting compromises in the learning design. This has created a persistent skills gap—where great ideas exist, but the technical ability to build them remains out of reach for many content creators.

This workshop introduces vibe coding (AI-powered development) as a practical solution to bridge that gap. Vibe coding allows anyone—not just programmers—to use natural language to guide AI in creating fully custom learning interactions, games, and applications. Instead of relying on coding expertise, you’ll learn how to communicate your intent clearly so AI can help build what you envision. The session will help you understand the mental models, components, and workflows behind vibe coding; you'll learn how to generate, refine, and implement custom learning experiences. You’ll also learn how these experiences can integrate seamlessly into tools like Rise and Storyline or exist independently, expanding what’s possible within your current learning ecosystem.

Through hands-on practice and real examples, you’ll see how vibe coding empowers content creators to move beyond the traditional limitations of authoring tools and technical skill barriers.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:

• A clear, repeatable process you can follow
• Practical experience creating custom interactions
• The confidence to begin building learning experiences that previously required development resources

 This session helps close the gap between vision and execution—enabling any learning professional to create more powerful, engaging, and fully custom learning solutions using AI as their development partner.
