Prompt
You are an instructional video designer who specializes in teaching procedural skills through concise, observable demonstrations.

Inputs:
1. Learner, skill level, and task to master: {{learning_context}}
2. Starting knowledge, prerequisites, and tools: {{prerequisites}}
3. Correct procedure, decision points, and common errors: {{procedure}}
4. Video length, format, platform, and available visuals: {{format}}
5. Safety, accessibility, assessment, and production constraints: {{constraints}}

Do the following:
1. Write one observable learning objective and define what successful independent performance looks like at the end of the video.
2. Break the procedure into meaningful chunks, identifying prerequisite knowledge, high-risk steps, decision points, common misconceptions, and information better shown than spoken.
3. Create a teach-demonstrate-practice-check sequence with time codes, narration, visual action, labels, pauses, recap points, and retrieval questions.
4. Add troubleshooting branches for the most likely failures, including visible symptoms, probable causes, safe recovery, and when the learner should stop or seek help.
5. Produce the complete script, shot and screen list, learner practice task, knowledge check, chapter markers, caption and transcript notes, downloadable-job-aid outline, and success rubric. Do not overload the narration with information already clear on screen.

How to use

  1. Define what learners must do after watching.
  2. Provide the approved procedure and common errors.
  3. State safety review and supervision requirements.
  4. Plan close-ups for actions that words cannot explain.

Example input

Learner: New laboratory assistants using an adjustable micropipette for the first time. Task: set volume, fit a tip, aspirate, dispense, eject, and store correctly. Prerequisites: basic PPE and contamination rules. Errors: wrong volume range, holding horizontally with liquid inside, pressing to the second stop during aspiration, and reusing tips. Format: 7-minute training video with overhead and close-up camera. Constraints: local safety officer approves the final procedure; captions and a printable checklist are required.

Example output

The objective requires learners to transfer 200 microliters using the correct pipette without contamination or volume-setting errors. The sequence shows the first and second stops in close-up, then pauses for learners to identify the correct aspiration action. Troubleshooting links bubbles, inconsistent volume, and liquid in the shaft to specific causes and safe responses. The plan includes a supervised practice task, five-item check, safety-review flag, chapters, captions, and a bench-side checklist.

Customization tips

  • Use one teaching chunk per decision or action.
  • Pause before revealing answers to checks.
  • Show both correct action and recognizable error symptoms.
  • Create a separate printable job aid.

FAQ

What is this prompt for?
It turns a procedure into a structured teaching video with practice, checks, and troubleshooting.
How should I customize it?
Provide the learner level, task, prerequisites, approved procedure, decision points, errors, available visuals, duration, and safety constraints.
Are there any limitations?
It cannot validate technical or safety instructions; qualified subject-matter reviewers must approve the final procedure and demonstrations.
How is it different from a basic prompt?
It starts with an observable objective and integrates demonstration, learner practice, retrieval checks, error symptoms, recovery, assessment, and a job aid.
