01 · Clarify my idea

Find out which follow-up need is worth addressing.

I see a need. What could I create?

01 / Understand it

Write one thing a participant should be able to do after the workshop, then state what is not yet known about the difficulty.

02 / See it in context
Meet MayaCommunity learning coordinator

Maya separates her observation—people receive only slides—from the untested assumption that another document would help.

Maya and every example here are prepared learning material, not a real case or an AI-generated result.

03 / Work through it

My idea brief

  1. Describe the gap

    Describe the workshop and what follow-up exists. Separate what you observed from what you assume participants need.

    You produce
    A current-situation note and a list of assumptions.
    Worth reviewing with
    Programme coordinator; willing participant perspectives.
    Ask yourself
    Is this a lack of explanation, practice, encouragement, or access to a person?
  2. Understand the people

    Identify the intended learners and prepare open questions about applying the workshop content. Do not infer needs from a job title alone.

    You produce
    A defined group and three questions to ask.
    Worth reviewing with
    Willing adult participants, with suitable permission where needed.
    Ask yourself
    Whose experience might differ from the people easiest to reach?
  3. Name the benefit

    Describe the useful action you hope the resource would support—not how much content it would generate.

    You produce
    One benefit statement.
    Worth reviewing with
    Educator or programme coordinator.
    Ask yourself
    What could someone do or understand more clearly?
  4. Compare possible approaches

    Consider a short practice resource, clearer slides, and a conversation or existing support. Describe where AI might help preparation, if at all.

    You produce
    A simple alternatives note.
    Worth reviewing with
    Learning designer or educator.
    Ask yourself
    Could an existing resource or human support meet the need?
  5. Choose what to learn first

    Select one assumption to investigate before making materials. Choose a manageable next action and any permission needed.

    You produce
    An idea brief and a next learning question.
    Worth reviewing with
    Relevant reviewer—not automatically an assigned mentor.
    Ask yourself
    What answer would change your proposed approach?

Need or solution?

Which statement is a useful question to investigate before Maya builds?

Every option has an explanation. Open as many as you like — nothing is recorded or scored.
