3.3 Learning Design Facilitator (LDF)

What is Learning Design Facilitator (LDF)?

To help you create your learning design, the IDEALS team has developed the Learning Design Facilitator (LDF), which includes different agents to answer your questions, provide suggestions, and support you throughout the entire learning design process. Currently, we have both the AI Facilitator and the LDS Assistant available.

AI Facilitator 

The AI Facilitator is an LLM-powered agent that currently serves two main functions: it can 1) act as a chatbot for conversation, and it can 2) provide suggestions and make changes to your current design. It is part of an ongoing development process and will support more features in the future.

1) Act as a chatbot for conversation
