The Complex Nature of Instructional Design

Instruc-onal design is a mul-disciplinary profession, one that constantly evolves to meet the
unique demands of diverse organiza-ons, content types, and learning environments. In
recognizing the complexity and ever-shi>ing landscape of instruc-onal design, we present a step-
by-step guide to harnessing the poten-al of Chat GPT1 in solving training challenges.

Why Chat for Instructional Design?


In today's digital age, learners crave interac-ve and personalized training materials. In an ever-
evolving landscape, where no two instruc-onal design scenarios are alike, naviga-ng through a
systema-c research process that leads to the most suitable solu-ons is impera-ve. Chat, with its
natural language processing capabili-es, offers a unique opportunity to tailor the exact solu-on to
training challenges.

Who could benefit from this article?

1. Instruc-onal Designers in their early days: While this guide is designed to offer insights for
instruc-onal designers at all levels, it is par-cularly beneficial for inexperienced designers. By
aiding them in asking the right ques-ons and guiding them through the intricacies of research-
based design, it helps build a strong founda-on for their future endeavors.

2. Experienced Instruc-onal Designers: Seasoned professionals can find value in the guide's
structured approach. It provides a comprehensive framework for organizing content in an efficient
and effec-ve way, thereby enhancing the quality of learning materials. This guide can mainly
shorten the -me and effort to develop new learning solu-ons such as learning programs or course
outlines.

1. In terms of convenience, we will use the term “Chat” instead of “Chat GPT.” 3

The ADDIE Methodology: Your Roadmap to Success

Our guide is structured around the renowned ADDIE methodology. (Analysis, Design,
Development, Implementation, Evaluation).

Development
The ADDIE Methodology

We'll walk you through each phase, demonstrating how to seamlessly incorporate Chat at every
step to achieve maximum impact. Each phase includes multiple aspects, and we will provide all
needed prompts to address each of them. Coming to analyze the implementation phase, we have
learned that different organizations deal with implementation as part of the operation and
facilitation aspects and not part of the development aspect. Therefore, we decided not to include
it in this article.

Effective Prompts: Mastering the Art


One of the keys to success when working with Chat is crafting effective prompts. We'll provide you
with a treasure trove of examples tailored to various learning scenarios. Whether you're designing
courses on coding, language learning, or customer service training, our guide has you covered.

Tips for Effective Communication with Chat


To get the most out of Chat, you need to communicate effectively. Our guide includes invaluable
tips on structuring your queries, providing context, and fine-tuning responses. We've also included
case studies and success stories from instructional designers from diverse fields who have already
reaped the benefits of Chat integration.

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU START

1.
1 First, Chat uses natural language processing to create human-like conversational dialogue, so
don't talk too formally to the Chat, but in a more human way, like we would talk to our
colleagues daily.
2.
2 There’s no such thing as a “one-prompt-solution.” When it comes to accurate results, you
should have an iterative conversation that unfolds between you and Chat, so practically after
the first iteration, challenge its answers, just like we do in real life with human beings. Useful
examples are followed.
3.
3 The series of prompts aggregate context that will help you deal with the complex process of
instructional design. As you progress with the prompts, ask, and answer questions, and
provide unique information, you will have more context for the solution. The more content
we provide to Chat, the better it is, and can give a more accurate solution, even repeating
the same request in different words more than once.
4. Each time you see [square brackets] in prompts, it's a generic field to which we attach a
4 variable value. Below the prompt, you can simply fill in your content for each variable
followed by an equal sign, for instance: subject matter = Python Introduction.
5
5. Note that there is a point where Chat no longer returns a valuable answer—when it starts to
repeat itself, we recommend you be aware of its behavior and stop the interaction.
6. If your content is proprietary knowledge, it might be a challenge for Chat to analyze it
6
because of its lack of accumulated knowledge. The solution it will provide will not
necessarily be effective; extracting information from its data set will be difficult. Even if we
provide context, it is still limited to how much data it can retrieve. In these situations, you
will use the prompts to understand how to gather the insights but not to create content.
7. Since the instructional design process is iterative, it is necessary from time to time to go back
7 to the prompts we have already asked for and reconsider them. If you receive an answer that
changes your decision-making process, you should go back and overview previous prompts.
You should copy the initial prompts and ask them again with the new information received.
8. To improve Chat’s request, it would be more effective to teach it or guide it on where to
8
collect the information from. If information is on the internet, you can copy sections from
the relevant web page. To better use the Chat tokens, you could even share Chat web page
links.
9. Sometimes, the Chat is required to rephrase the information in an instructional tone of
9
voice. Most of the time, Chat's default language is free/marketing, so if needed, it's worth
asking to switch it to a more official or targeted language. Simply ask Chat to rephrase using
the following prompt: Rephrase it in an instructional tone of voice.
10. Remember, there’s no such thing as a magic solution—the instructional designer is fully
10
responsible for the final solution, and it is always required to test it and make sure that we
manage to give all needed data and context to Chat. Do not use the results without
checking them again. Do not copy and paste!

BEST PRACTICE #1: ANALYSIS


As an instructional designer, you start with the Analysis phase. You must provide all needed information to
Chat so that it will be able to come up with an effective solution. Here’s an example of a prompt that will
help you generate all the needed questions you must address about the target audience. Note that we use
variables [in square brackets] so that you can specify the prompt to any context. You need to specify them
below the prompt in the following way:

You are an instructional designer, an expert in organizational learning, and you are required to write a
training outline for a learning unit. You are required to outline this [subject matter] and [topics]. Ask
me all the necessary questions to outline the logical order of learning topics and detailed sub-topics.
Number the questions. I will give you my answers and summarize all the answers in a paragraph that
determines the outline.
subject matter = Python Introduction

topics = getting started, basic syntax, editing environment, basic logic

Of course, I'd be glad to help you create a training outline for the learning unit on "Python
Introduction" with the topics you mentioned. Let's start by asking some questions to organize the
outline logically:
1. What is the primary goal of this training? Is it to provide a general overview of Python or to give
participants a practical understanding of its basics for further programming?
2. What is the target audience's prior knowledge level? Are they complete beginners to
programming, or do they have some experience with other languages?
3. Do you have a specific time duration allocated for this training? This will help determine the depth
of coverage for each topic.
4. How technical should the training be? Are you looking for a high-level introduction or a more
hands-on technical approach?

Once I have your answers, I'll be able to structure the outline with numbered sub-topics under each
main topic.

BEST PRACTICE #2: DESIGN
The Design stage takes place when you have completed your Analysis stage. After you provide all the
answers to Chat’s questions, the training outline is generated. Here’s an example of a prompt from a
different subject matter (Solar industry) that can help you to go deeper in content creation.

Based on the above knowledge, I would like you to share a course training outline for sales specialists
in a solar company. In your answer, please adjust the specification to this role and avoid generic
content.

Absolutely, let's take it up a notch and create a tailored training outline for sales specialists in a solar
company. This outline will focus on providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in
their role:

Let's take module 9 and focus on the role plays. Please provide me with five sections relevant to the
info above, for each, I would like to have the three top mistakes that new salespeople usually make.

Absolutely. Let's dive into module 9, focusing on role plays and idenbfying common mistakes that new
salespeople in the solar industry tend to make. Here are five different scenarios, along with the top
three mistakes for each:

Module 9: Pracbcal Role Play Scenarios

Scenario 1: Residenbal Customer Consultabon


Top Mistakes: Lack of Personalizabon: New salespeople might use a generic approach instead of
tailoring the conversabon to the customer's specific needs and energy goals.
Skipping Needs Assessment: Failing to conduct a thorough assessment of the customer's energy
consumpbon, budget constraints, and preferences before presenbng solubons.
Rushing to Present: Jumping straight into product features without establishing rapport,
understanding the customer's pain points, and addressing potenbal objecbons.

Scenario 2: Commercial Customer Pitch for Energy Savings


Top Mistakes: Overemphasis on Technology: New salespeople may focus too much on the technical
details of solar systems, overwhelming the customer with complex informabon.
Neglecbng Financial Benefits: Not effecbvely communicabng the financial gains and return on
investment (ROI) associated with commercial solar installabons.
Ignoring Decision-Making Process: Failing to idenbfy key decision-makers and influencers within the
organizabon, leading to ineffecbve pitch delivery.

Scenario 3: Handling Customer Objecbons


Top Mistakes:
Defensiveness: Reacbng defensively to objecbons rather than empathebcally addressing the
customer's concerns.
Unpreparedness: Being caught off-guard by common objecbons related to cost, installabon process, or
misconcepbons about solar technology.
Lack of Reassurance: Not providing enough evidence, tesbmonials, or case studies to alleviate
customer doubts and build trust in the solubon.

TIP: You can always go deeper and ask Chat to provide more detailed information, such as:

Scenario 3: Handling Customer Objecbons. Please give a step-by-step solubon on how to avoid any of
the mistakes and how to sort it out in case the salesperson falls into this trap and needs guidance.

Certainly, let's dive deeper into Scenario 3: Handling Customer Objections. Here's a step-by-step
solution to avoid the common mistakes and guidance on how to handle objections effectively:
Scenario 3: Handling Customer Objections

Mistake 1: Defensiveness

Prevention:
Mindset Shift: Approach objections as opportunities to understand the customer's concerns better and
provide valuable information.
Active Listening: Listen carefully to the objection without interrupting. Let the customer express their
point of view fully.

Resolution:
Acknowledge the Concern: Respond with empathy and acknowledge the customer's objection. For
example, "I understand your concern about the initial cost."
Provide Information: Offer relevant information or data that addresses the objection. Share success
stories or case studies to illustrate how similar concerns were overcome.
Seek Agreement: Engage the customer in a dialogue. Ask if they can see the potential benefits beyond
the objection and encourage them to consider the bigger picture.

BEST PRACTICE #3: DEVELOPMENT
At this stage, we begin to create the course content. Each element of the course should be developed to
match the design phase. Here’s an example of prompts that can help you with that.

Now, I want you to act as a storyteller. You will come up with entertaining stories that are engaging,
imaginative, and captivating for the audience. It can be fairy tales, educational stories, or any other
type of story that has the potential to capture people’s attention and imagination. I need a story on
[topic] for a targeted audience [audience]. Refer to the lesson outline [outline] and cover all the key
points in [list of topics]. Be guided by the lesson rationale and concept [rationale and concept] to
ensure that these stories significantly augment learners’ comprehension and application of knowledge.
audience= installers
topics= Solar Customer Support
outline= Module 1: Introduction to Solar Customer Support
list of topics= The Role of a Support Representative in Solar, Solar Industry Overview
rationale and concept= using analogies and emphasizing the customer's benefit

Story:
Once upon a time, in a land not too far from here, there existed a village called Solarville. This unique
village was powered entirely by the sun's energy. Solar panels adorned every rooftop, soaking up the
sun's rays and storing its power for the community's needs.
In the heart of Solarville lived a group of remarkable individuals known as the Solar Guardians. These
were not ordinary villagers; they were the support representatives responsible for maintaining the
village's solar power systems and ensuring everyone enjoyed a continuous, efficient, and hassle-free
supply of clean energy.

Chapter 1: The Role of a Support Representative in Solar


Our story begins with a young Solar Guardian named Stella. Stella was known throughout the village
for her knowledge and dedication to solar energy. She had a magical tool that allowed her to see the
flow of energy in the village. Whenever someone faced an issue with their solar panels, Stella could
sense it.
One sunny morning, Mr. Thompson, a kindly villager, called out for help. His solar panels were not
producing energy as they should. Stella arrived at his house, greeted him with a warm smile, and
examined the panels. She explained to Mr. Thompson the importance of regular check-ups for solar
panels, just like visiting the doctor for one's health. Stella assured him that with a little maintenance,
his panels would shine brightly again. Mr. Thompson learned how crucial it was to have a Solar
Guardian like Stella.

Chapter 2: Solar Industry Overview
As Stella continued her work in Solarville, she often took the time to educate the villagers about the
broader world of solar energy. One day, she gathered the children of the village under a giant solar-
powered tree and began to tell them a story about how Solarville came to be.
Long ago, Solarville was like any other village, using fossil fuels for energy. However, as time passed,
they realized the environmental harm they were causing. The wise leaders of the village decided to
turn to the sun for a solution. They brought in experts, the first Solar Guardians, who installed the solar
panels and transformed Solarville into a beacon of clean energy.
The children listened with wide eyes, understanding that the sun was not just a ball of fire in the sky
but a source of endless possibilities.

Lesson Rationale and Concept:


Through the adventures of Stella and her fellow Solar Guardians, the installers in our audience learn
the essential role they play in ensuring the smooth operation of solar systems for their customers. By
using analogies and emphasizing the benefits of solar energy, this story not only captures their
attention but also reinforces the importance of regular maintenance and care.
As they follow Stella's journey, the installers gain insight into the broader solar industry, understanding
how their work fits into the larger context of sustainability and clean energy. This imaginative tale not
only augments their comprehension but also inspires them to be the Solar Guardians of their own
communities, promoting solar energy and its positive impact.

TIP: You can always ask Chat to provide you with other stories, such as:

Sorry, but I cannot relate to these stories. Could you please come up with others?

Certainly, let's try another story tailored to solar installers that focuses on the importance of Solar
Customer Support:

Story:
In the heart of a sun-kissed valley, nestled between rolling hills, there lived a humble village named
Sunnyvale. This village, like many others in the land, had embraced the power of the sun to light up
their lives. Solar panels adorned every rooftop, and the people of Sunnyvale revealed the warmth and
brilliance of renewable energy.
At the heart of Sunnyvale, there was a unique workshop run by a wise old installer named Leo. Leo was
known far and wide as the "Solar Whisperer" because he had a special bond with solar panels. He
could hear when they were happy, and he could sense when they needed help.

Chapter 1: The Role of a Support Representative in Solar


One sunny morning, a villager named Maria came rushing to Leo's workshop. Her solar panels had
grown silent, and the lights in her home were dim. Maria was worried, so she sought out the Solar
Whisperer's expertise.
Leo welcomed Maria with a warm smile and listened as she explained her predicament. He gently
touched the solar panels and closed his eyes. It was as if he were listening to a secret conversation
between the panels and the sun. Leo knew that the panels were thirsty for sunlight, blocked by the
leaves of an overgrown tree.

He advised Maria to trim the tree branches and explained that the panels needed the sun's caress to
thrive. Maria followed Leo's advice, and soon her home was bathed in a warm, radiant glow. Leo had
not just fixed the panels; he had taught Maria the importance of listening to her solar companions.
