Day 2 · Session 3

Dynamic work instructions and real-time feedback

An instruction is dynamic when it reaches the learner at the point of need, in the form they can act on, and improves from what happens next.

Completed

Four properties of a dynamic instruction

At the point of need

Available at the bench, not only in the LMS.

Actionable

One step, one decision, one visible check.

Multi-modal

Text, image or short clip — same core content.

Versioned

An owner, a date and a route to improve it.

Rewrite for action

Static

“Follow safe working procedures at all times.”
A 12-page PDF read before the practical

Dynamic

“Before striking an arc: check screen position, clamp earth, confirm extraction is running.”

Convert a static procedure

Context: TVET practical session, [module], [learner group], workshop environment.
Task: Convert the procedure below into a dynamic work instruction card learners use at the workstation.
Constraints: Maximum 8 steps; one action per step; plain language at [reading level]; no unexplained jargon.
Evidence: For each step give the visible check that proves it was done, and the most common learner error.
Output: A numbered card plus a short list of what to photograph or film. Flag any step that must be verified against local safety policy.

Value-adding work Waiting / queue

Feedback that arrives after the next attempt has already happened is a report, not feedback.
Short, specific and criterion-linked beats long and general.
Collect the misconceptions — they are your next revision of the instruction.

Where AI helps here

Draft the alternative formats and reading levels, cluster recurring misconceptions from your notes, and suggest criterion-linked feedback phrasing. You still verify accuracy, local practice and tone before a learner sees it.

Hands-on50 min

Prototype one dynamic instruction and its feedback loop

Use the task where learners most often ask the same question.

0/5

01Choose the task with the most repeated questions.
02Write it as one action per step with a visible check.
03Add one alternative format for access.
04Define the in-session feedback signal.
05Test it with a peer and cut anything they did not need.
