I'm Sean White — a learning designer and developer helping universities and training providers design great learning experiences and build the tools that bring them to life. 25+ years in software, 7+ years in university learning design.
Built & running — try them now
These are complete, browser-based learning tools I designed and built from scratch — open one and explore it live. No installs, no logins.
An interactive 3D chemistry lab — build molecules atom by atom, explore 200+ from the library, play animated reactions with energy diagrams, and visualise VSEPR geometry, hybridisation, formal charges and resonance.
An interactive 3D globe — spin the Earth and switch on a rich stack of map overlays (borders, cities, physical geography, geology, time zones, UNESCO sites, airports, undersea cables, day/night and night-lights), click countries for facts, and test yourself with a variety of geography quizzes.
An interactive 3D human anatomy lab — toggle body systems (skeleton, muscles, organs, blood vessels and skin), switch on X-ray mode, click any structure for facts, play physiological animations, and test yourself with anatomy quizzes.
An interactive 3D biology lab — explore an animal, plant, bacterial or any of many other cell types, click any organelle for facts, toggle the membrane, cytoskeleton and cut-away views, play animated cellular processes, and test yourself with cell-biology quizzes.
An interactive 3D orrery — fly through the Sun, eight planets, dozens of moons, the dwarf planets and the Kuiper belt. Click any body for facts and surface features, toggle orbits, labels and animated spin, watch the planets circle the Sun, and test yourself with astronomy quizzes.
An interactive 3D optical bench — place lasers, lenses, mirrors, prisms, gratings, slits and polarizers on the table and a live ray tracer bends, reflects, disperses and interferes the light. Form real images, project interference fringes, read off angles and focal lengths, and run preset experiments and animated demonstrations.
Flagship product
My AI-assisted platform for developing and editing learning content — built for educators, working across the major large language models. Generate, structure and quality-check course materials at scale, all from one place.
Featured product
An AI agent that creates and manages content right inside the CMS / LMS admin — so educators can put AI to work without it ever going rogue. Every change it proposes is yours to approve or reject before anything goes live.
What I do
I bridge instructional design with hands-on development — so the people who know the learning and the people who build the tech are the same person.
Course and curriculum design, learning outcomes and assessment, accessibility / UDL, and content development grounded in how people actually learn.
Administration, custom plugin and component development, course build and structure, and cross-platform migration and integration.
AI-assisted content generation, LLM tool-calling agents, prompt and workflow design, and private / local model deployment for data-sensitive environments.
Microsoft Power Automate and Power Apps; workflow automation and systems integration that removes manual, repetitive work from teams.
PHP, JavaScript, Joomla and WordPress; custom plugins and components, and API integrations across platforms and services.
Bespoke, browser-based teaching tools — simulations, practice activities and games — built to teach a specific skill, like the demos above.
About
My recent focus is applying AI to course content: designing and building tools that generate, structure and quality-check learning materials at scale — including in privacy-sensitive environments where data can't leave the building. I work end-to-end, from the learning design through to the software that delivers it.
I'm based in Mackay, Australia and work remotely with universities and training providers across the country.
