How many MP4s (and what size) can safely go in one SCORM package before loading issues?

Building a course in Captivate 13, delivered through Docebo, with a bunch of embedded MP4s (1.5-5 min each, 1080p) plus quizzes and other interactivity in the same package. Not streaming through Vimeo or Wistia, actually embedded in the package itself. From asking around, it sounds like it's not really about how many videos, it's about individual file size and total package size. Most people I talked to keep videos around 80-150MB each and the whole package well under Docebo's 1GB cap. But nobody I've found has actually tested this at real scale, like 30+ videos, across different connections and machines. Just one-off tests. Has anyone actually built something like this and had it work consistently for a real, varied group of learners? Or had it fall apart even though it looked fine in your own testing? Trying to get past "it worked for me" and figure out what actually holds up once real people with real connections start using it. submitted by /u/NovaNebula73 [link] [comments]

Claude for teachers

I'm a primary school teacher (in Europe). I started using claude to simplify my workflow and helping me design and organise my lessons (+ planning). This year I started teaching religion and I have to create my own worksheets. Claude is 100 times better than OpenAI for this, but it sucks at creating images to make the worksheet more interesting for kids. Do you guys have any tips to help me create better worksheets?

Who would you hire: Candidate A who’s very creative & loves creating content but needs to learn the right way or Candidate B who’s less creative & less interested in that but has more of a problem-solving approach?

We’re hiring for an internal role. Both of these candidates are SMEs and trainers, but neither have a background in instructional design. Spoiler alert - neither do I, but here we are. We’ll need to teach both of them the science of effective learning as well as design basics. I’m torn on which person would be a better fit. Candidate A has a creative eye and puts a lot of thought and effort into making training fun. But it was also a bit of style over substance and she’d need to learn how to make training effective, not just fun. Candidate B is less creative and said that it would be a bit of a challenge, but she could learn. Her approach was a lot more basic and she basically copied an activity we’ve already done. But she said that she cares more about solving the training problem over the creative piece. Who would you hire in this situation? submitted by /u/ElevatorEmergency678 [link] [comments]

Creating an employee manual

Good morning! I work for a small family owned business that employs technicians for environmental testing and natural gas mitigation.

How can AI help me build a multilingual video nugget library for non-English audiences?

Hi everyone, I’m exploring the idea of building a short-form video library for audiences who are not comfortable with English. The content would be broken into small learning nuggets, and each video could be dubbed in a selected set of languages so viewers can choose the version that works best for them. I’d love your thoughts on a few things: - What is the best AI for this, paid versions are fine as well. - What makes a multilingual video library easy to use? - How should language selection be presented so it feels simple and intuitive? - What are the best practices for dubbing short educational videos? - Are there any formats, features, or user experience ideas that work especially well for non-English speaking audiences? - What mistakes should I avoid when designing this kind of content? Any practical suggestions, examples, or lessons from your own experience would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Wolfmaster_29 [link] [comments]

AI Company

Hi! I’m new to Instructional Design. I was lucky enough to land an ID role just last month after transitioning from being a Corporate Trainer. The company I’m with now relies heavily on AI specifically Claude. As a new ID, I want to build a strong foundation and not become too dependent on AI, especially when it comes to designing courses. Here, almost everything is created with the help of AI. My concern is that if I rely on AI too much, I might struggle in the future if I move to another company that doesn’t use the same tools.

400+ School Visits in Bhavnagar District Changed My Perspective on Public Education Forever.

As a social impact startup founder, I've had the opportunity to visit 1–2 government primary schools every week across the Bhavnagar district for the past 6–7 years. Every school has taught me something different. Some inspired me with incredible leadership. Others showed me how dedicated teachers can create meaningful learning despite limited resources. And many reminded me that a child's curiosity doesn't depend on the size of a classroom or the school's budget. These visits completely changed my perspective on public education. Today, I don't judge a school by its infrastructure alone. I notice the smiles of the students, the passion of the teachers, the involvement of the community, and the culture that the principal has built. Every school visit gives me hope that meaningful change in education doesn't always start with policy. Sometimes, it starts with one committed teacher, one visionary principal, and one supportive community. What's the most inspiring school you've ever visite

Sometimes I feel like my brain and workplace operations speak different languages.

I’ve spent most of my career working in fast-paced environments. I genuinely love them. But… they’ve also been exhausting. I’m neurodivergent, and over the years I’ve realized my brain simply isn’t wired the same way. What I’ve struggled with most hasn’t been the work itself. It’s been the systems around the work. The documentation. The training. The constant assumption that everyone processes information the same way. I often find myself thinking, “Things don’t have to be this hard.” Sometimes, I simply feel like things aren’t… well… clear. Am I alone in feeling that way? If you’ve had a similar experience, I’d genuinely love to connect and exchange perspectives. I have a feeling I’m not the only one navigating this, and I’m curious to hear what has actually helped, especially when organizations adapted the way they designed their operations, documentation, or training.

Ease of integration? Student demand? What would make you say NO to something like NotebookLM even if it looked promising? Have you seen AI study tools actually improve learning outcomes?

NotebookLM for school – is it actually worth it? What subjects work best, and are there better alternatives?

Hey everyone, I'm doing some investigation and looking into NotebookLM as a subject for my research, so just curious to learn. And also, just like, anything would be helpful. For those of you using it academically: How are you actually using it? (e.g., feeding it lecture slides, dense research papers, or entire textbooks?) Do you genuinely recommend it? And what subjects does it shine in? I've heard it's decent for humanities but falls apart with math-heavy or logic-based STEM stuff – is that your experience? What are the biggest pitfalls or things I should be aware of? I know about the 50-source limit, but how often does it hallucinate or mess up citations in your actual workflow? Also, I'm really curious about alternatives. If you've ditched NotebookLM for something else, what did you switch to, and why is it actually better for your specific use case?

Is AI tutoring actually an equity tool, or does it mostly help students who already have support?

I've been thinking about AI tutoring less as a replacement for teachers and more as a first layer of help for students who do not already have easy access to a patient adult. On the optimistic side, a student can ask basic questions without embarrassment, repeat an explanation five times, get examples in their own language, or turn messy notes into a study plan. That feels like a real access shift, especially for students who do not have private tutors, educated parents, or quiet time with a teacher. But I am also skeptical that access to answers automatically becomes equity. The students who benefit most may still be the ones with devices, good prompts, enough motivation, stable internet, adults who check the work, and schools that help them use the tool well. Without that support, AI could become another thing that looks equal on paper but widens the gap in practice. So I am curious how people here think about it from an edtech/classroom perspective: Where does AI tutoring actually r

Tired of "Solutions"

I have been a classroom teacher since 1999, and I have finally had enough of what I call "solutions made by engineers and accountants".

So, therefore I am going to solve my problems for myself and my classroom, such as Seating Plans.

Why does edtech fail to innovate to solve it's needs, but just use innovations from other fields?

Edtech doesn't seem to drive innovation internally. In fact, what is claimed to be innovative and disruptive in edtech tends to be even larger failures. It seems like edtech that has provided value, are innovations from other fields. - Projectors (business presentations) - LMSs (information systems) - Notes like Notion, (organisational knowledge management) - ...

Jobaaj is making all misleading promises

​ I’m exposing my experience with Jobaaj Placement Program. They promise students that they will get a job within 3 months, otherwise they offer a money-back guarantee. But the reality and their terms & conditions tell a very different story. Their policy says that if a student attends 2 interviews and fails to clear them, they are no longer eligible for a refund. Now here’s the issue: The first few companies they arrange interviews with often have extremely limited openings — for example, 2 openings with 100+ students being interviewed. Obviously, most students will get rejected. After just 2 failed interviews, the refund clause becomes invalid. And after those 2 interviews, in my experience, they barely care about your profile anymore. Communication becomes poor, support slows down, and there is little genuine effort to help students get placed. This creates a system where students lose both: - the placement promise - and the refund eligibility It genuinely feels like the process is

Comprehension-first vs. text-first: testing whether manga retellings of papers actually help people learn

Something I keep running into in learning design: for a genuinely hard text, the text itself is the worst possible starting point. A learner with no background spends almost all their effort decoding the prose and has little left for actually understanding the idea. We treat reading comprehension and concept comprehension as the same skill, but for novices they really aren't. I've been experimenting with flipping the order. Before someone reads a dense paper or a long handout, give them a visual, narrative version first (in my case a literal manga retelling: the concept acted out in panels), then send them to the original. Anecdotally the original read gets much faster and retention goes up, because the learner already holds the structure and is now just attaching detail to it. It lines up with the old worked-example and dual-coding research, just pushed further into full narrative. The part most relevant to this sub is adaptivity. The version I built makes every concept expandable: a

What is r/edtech even for anymore? Is it a vent hose?

Hey guys, I have been visiting this sub for a few months and I've noticed a pattern every time someone posts a tool they built for teachers, the "Iconic comment" is "AI slop." Every time someone shares a classroom tech idea, teachers pile on with negativity. But where is that same energy when Canvas got hacked twice by the same group, exposing 275 million users across 8,800+ institutions including private messages between students and teachers? The entry point was a free tier account with zero proper security. They initially ignored the ransom demand, got hacked again and then quietly paid up. That's corporate negligence on a massive scale. Crickets. Yes I get it that teachers are exhausted and their districts make terrible tech decisions like buying bloated or hyped platforms with zero teacher input, then mandating everyone use them. That frustration is real and valid but the anger is being aimed at the wrong people. An indie developer posting a free classroom tool didn't lock you int

If you hired the right people, why is performance still a problem?

I have spent a long time in L&D, most recently as a CLO, before that in learning roles at a few large organisations. I wanted to share something with this group. We put real effort into hiring the right people. Then performance is still a problem, and the usual reaction is to blame the people or throw more training at it. I am less and less convinced that is where the issue sits. In most places I have worked, the talent was already in the building. What was missing was the conditions for them to perform: the time to practice, the manager actually involved, work designed so they could do the job well. I keep landing on the gap between knowing and doing. We are good at handing people content. We are not nearly as good at building the conditions where they get to apply it and improve. To be upfront, the reason this is on my mind is I am doing a webinar on it at the end of the month with Laura Overton, who has spent around 20 years researching what good performing L&D teams do differently.

I learned that Michael Salamanca, an associate principal from Madison, attended a conference at RIT (NTID) with other teachers. It’s rare to see a hearing administrator who signs and wants to learn about deaf culture. As a deaf person, it touches me!

Degree Regrets

Hey everyone, I am currently going into my fourth year as an English Education major, and I have never regretted anything more in my life. I've always wanted to become a teacher, but after my first semester in college I was quick to realize I was too mentally ill to handle it. I ended up attempting to commit suicide, and it obviously did not work. I felt like a failure. Everyone pressured me to keep going and that I will like it eventually, etc etc. So I did. I didn't want to let anyone down like I did before. Now I'm in Phase II, going to start the semester before student teaching, and I can't do it. I can't handle the schedule or stress of teaching. I can't afford to change majors and restart. I haven't been able to work in three years due to the immense workload on top of my already failing mental health. Now, I have hospital bills and student loans. It feels like the only thing left to do is attempt again and pray it works this time. I'm scared. It feels like my life has fallen apa

DAE (Grade B) 2023, planning Bachelor's in Filmmaking abroad in 2028. 21M. Need guidance.

Hi everyone, I'm 21, did DAE Software Engineering (Grade B / 67%) and Matric CS. Academically not strong but creatively I have good ideas and I want to pursue Filmmaking. I'm planning to go abroad for Bachelor's in Filmmaking in 2028. Working and saving money until then. Primary target is China (CSC scholarship) because their film industry is decent and the country has good future prospects. I'll learn Chinese and build a portfolio for the scholarship. Not staying in Pakistan because film programs here are generic and the future of this field here isn't what I want. Need guidance on: · Is China CSC realistic for someone with my grades? · Any other countries with good film industry, affordable living, and scholarships? · How much language do I need before applying? · What kind of portfolio do film schools expect? · I'll be 23 when I go. Is that too old? Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks! submitted by /u/MSLogan07 [link] [comments]

Democrats Move to Impeach Linda McMahon Over ‘Willful Intent’ to Close Ed Dept.

https://www.the74million.org/article/democrats-move-to-impeach-linda-mcmahon-over-willful-intent-to-close-ed-dept Specifically, the articles of impeachment are: 1. Willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law The text cites McMahon’s actions to transfer responsibilities, which under law rest with the Education Department, to other agencies. Just last week , she announced that the office overseeing special education would move to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Civil Rights would transfer to the Justice Department. 2. False statements before Congress The resolution accuses McMahon of lying to Congress during her confirmation hearing that she would follow the law in disbursing education funds appropriated by Congress. Instead, the text reads, she has defended the cancellation of several research contracts and discontinued grants for programs like community schools. 3. Breach of public trust Again focusing on funding, the resolution states that the adm

ND Children's bodies are on strike and I'm proud of them for not masking

Edit: ND = neurodivergent masking= suppressing needs in order to be more in productive or on the clock in a classroom. I've seen a lot of non-compliance referrals this year in a few districts. Particularly for autistic and other ND children whose own bodies and minds are just done. (And by the way, the brain is also a part of the body as much as many admins seem to like to act like the two are separate.) It's interesting too because often they will have a BIP that says that the child can ask for a break to be proactive. Then the adult will delay the break Or not believe the kid that they do in fact need a break. Then the kid will have a meltdown or a behavior. If you don't leak out some form of dopamine, sensory input/reduction, or easy success for your ND kids, their bodies are going to go on strike. Plain and simple. It's not personal. They aren't being belligerent and disobedient. They just have nothing left to give. submitted by /u/PurplesunsetBluelips [link] [comments]
