AskSia turned three learning theory readings into a Sia Note that mapped Bloom, Bruner, and Vygotsky to concrete instructional moves. My ADDIE project used the comparison directly.

Real outcomes
It's not the storyboard.
It's the rollout.
ID students lose points for objectives that aren't measurable, assessments misaligned with objectives, or storyboards that ignored the SME's actual constraints. AskSia tightens those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For my e-learning storyboard final I dropped the assignment brief into AskSia. Got a backward designed template with formative checks tied to objectives. Cleanest deliverable in the cohort.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The Mock Exam mode generated learning sciences short answer questions with rubric aligned grading. Caught that I kept conflating cognitive load with extraneous design.
