FLaM∞ Made Visible — The Structure Beneath Learning

Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a guest webinar for the Articulate Community, where I introduced FLaM∞.

FLaM∞ is not a method, but a universal structure underlying all learning experiences. To make it visible, the right language is essential — as demonstrated in my webinar through concepts like Subgoals, Functional Layers, and Layer Mapping, following the Double Diamond Method.

For a long time, I’ve explored how to describe learning experiences uniformly, studying many e-learning formats. This fundamental structure became clear to me especially while preparing my FrogGame webinar introduction.

Although it’s not documented in the webinar materials, I had already emphasized to DavidAnderson​  before the session how crucial I consider FLaM∞ — a clarity that also helped refine the FrogScenario.

I compare FLaM∞ to the law of conservation of energy — a universal principle discovered late because its concept had to be developed first; even Newton himself did not know the concept of energy as we understand it today — the language and the idea simply didn’t exist in his times.

FLaM∞ is a structure, a grammar, and a logic to develop and diagnose any learning experience and e-learning content. The concluding graphic in the demo (link below the text) summarizes this elegantly.

I recognize that FLaM∞ may still be unfamiliar to many. That’s why I share it not as a claim, but as a discovery — one that emerged from long-term observation, structural analysis, and cross-format comparison. Like energy, it needed the right language to become visible. I welcome dialogue and feedback, and I am currently working on documentation to make FLaM∞ accessible — not just as a tool, but as a grammar for designing and diagnosing learning experiences.

I apologize for the missing webinar introduction and description; perhaps DavidAnderson​might consider adding these, as I cannot edit the resource page.

In this demo, you can also explore the new Rise code block featuring an interactive mass-spring system, alongside a comparison between the great energy conservation law and FLaM∞ — a foundational framework for e-learning experiences.

I’m deeply proud of this work and excited to share it.
