The ID Toolbox for the Unglamorous Half of Instructional Design

Field notes

The toolbox divides its utilities into three production stages: scoping, construction, and pre-shipment QA. Its live inventory includes SRT/VTT/TTML caption conversion, cue shifting and reading-speed checks, PowerPoint text and speaker-note extraction, and a course-file inspector for .story files or published packages. Other entries remain marked “On the bench,” including checks for learning objectives, alt text, SCORM packages, contrast, and seat time. The creator attributes the collection to 28 years in corporate training.
