aka Techy Tania

I build full-cycle learning programs built to last.

I have 20+ years in instructional design and an M.Ed. in Science Education. I rebuilt my own production pipeline around AI, and I teach teams to do the same: real adoption, not just a one-time launch.

About

Full-cycle learning programs, built to last

Tania Driskill
Innovations for Education

I'm an instructional designer and learning architect with 20+ years across secondary, adult, and corporate learning, including a decade building full-cycle eLearning practices for global enterprise clients. I design scalable learning architectures: competency-aligned pathways, self-serve resource ecosystems, and facilitated cohorts.

For the past several years, I've embedded AI into every stage of the production and enablement cycle. I've reached thousands of global learners over six years of independent practice, cutting production cost by more than half through AI-generated voice, animation, avatars, and imagery. I deliver live and asynchronous AI training that moves teams from curiosity to confident, responsible daily use.
