One of the biggest headaches we face as instructional designers using AI is what I call "The Shapeshifter Problem." You generate a fantastic healthcare guide for Slide 1, but by Slide 5, she’s magically grown six inches, changed her hair colour, and swapped her scrubs for a suit. 🤦‍♂️ When our "learning agents" look different on every page, it doesn't just look messy—it actually breaks the learner's cognitive flow. They stop focusing on the content and start wondering why the doctor suddenly looks like a different person. 🔑 The Secret: The "Anchor" Method To build trust and narrative in your programmes, you need consistency. I’ve just finished documenting a workflow that fixes this using three specific Consistency Pillars: 1. Physical Anchors: Locking in the DNA (age, hair texture, skin tone). 2. Uniform Anchors: A "hero" accessory (like a specific teal lanyard) that the AI can track. 3. Style Anchors: Ensuring your "Flat Vector" doesn't accidentally turn into a "3D Render." 🛠️ Free Resource: The Character Consistency Toolkit I’ve put together a Single-Page Application (SPA) Infographic and a Master Guide to help you master this. Inside the guide, you’ll find: - The Master Prompt Workflow: How to architect your character's "ID photo" first. - Scenario Mapping: A list of the 5 essential poses every course needs. - AI Design Assistants: Interactive tools to help you write prompts that actually work. I’ve attached the Character Consistency Guide below. Have a look and let me know in the comments: What’s the most "creative" (or annoying) change an AI has made to one of your characters mid-project? 👇 #InstructionalDesign #AI #EdTech #CharacterConsistency #CourseCreation
