Type: workflow-diagram
**sim-id:** instructional-design-feedback-loop<br/>
**Library:** Mermaid<br/>
**Status:** Specified
**Learning objective (Bloom — Creating):** Trace the full feedback loop from learner interaction through analytics to instructional design changes and back to subsequent cohorts.
**Diagram type:** Mermaid flowchart with a circular structure (LR direction with a return edge). Click handlers on every node.
**Cycle:**
1. `Learners use textbook (cohort N)`
2. `xAPI statements emitted to LRS`
3. `Analytics aggregations (completion, struggle, engagement)`
4. `Dashboards reviewed by instructional designers`
5. `Findings prioritized for content changes`
6. `Content updated in next release`
7. Loop back to step 1: `Learners use textbook (cohort N+1)`
**Mermaid config:** project standard with `securityLevel: 'loose'`.
**Click behavior:** Each node opens a side-panel infobox describing the activity, the role responsible, and the typical cadence (per-session, per-month, per-semester).
**Default canvas:** 2/3 width diagram + 1/3 side panel. Stacks vertically below 700px.
Implementation: Mermaid flowchart with click directives and a return edge to indicate the cyclic nature.
