Local Hub Dublin: Pretty Slides Don’t Teach - An ID & AI Reality Check
Too often, Instructional Design is misunderstood as simply "building slides" or "making content pretty." This session strips away the theory to show what professional learning design actually looks like in practice.
Join the L&D Shakers Dublin Hub for an interactive, practical evening led by Alyson Gray (Instructional Designer & Global AI Enablement Lead at Version 1). Alyson will walk us through a real project from concept to delivery including how to tackle complex subject matter you know nothing about alongside technical SMEs.
What We’ll Cover:
Demystifying the Role: What the job actually involves beyond formatting content.
The Full Workflow: The brief, trade-offs, tooling choices, and pedagogical decisions made along the way.
AI in Action: Where AI accelerates the process effectively, and the critical pitfalls where AI-built content looks finished but quietly fails learning objectives.
Open Q&A & Community Discussion: Connect and share perspectives with fellow Dublin L&D peers.
A huge thank you to LearnUpon for sponsoring our event venue and supporting the local community!
As always - whether you’re a hub regular or joining us for the first time, come ready with your big questions, your challenges, and your favorite L&D power moves.
