Survey: Using AI in Course Design

Posted on by

I doubt many parts of learning and teaching have not already been touched by the advances in AI technology, from the ability to answer questions posed in a course as part of the end-of-course assessment to creating authentic and realistic videos of the educator, based on a short clip of their voice and appearance.

While there are many people better than me looking at the ethics and impact of these technologies (it’s challenging to keep up with the daily news and views, but I’m trying and storing what I find on Flipboard), I am exploring the use of AI as part of the course design process.

This is a call to all learning designers, instructional designers, and educational technologists. What are your views and/or experiences in using AI (not just ChatGPT) as part of the design process?

Starting from my LinkedIn poll – “Have you considered or used AI tools in the initial planning phases (eg, lesson planning, storyboarding, learning outcome) of course design?” – I am digging deeper with this survey – deeper into the general attitude and experiences of learning designers (sic) to the use of AI in your work.

“The purpose of this survey is to gather your experiences, opinions, and expectations regarding the use of AI in educational design. I am exploring not only the practical applications but also the ethical considerations that come with these technological advancements. Your feedback will contribute to a broader understanding of how AI can support educational outcomes, enhance the learning design process, and address potential concerns within our community.”

Your response is completely anonymous, but for those who would like to either declare your experiences or use this to start a conversation about your work, the opportunity is there to leave your name and/or contact details.

Please take part and share it widely with your network. I am keen to explore the possibilities and capabilities of AI in this aspect of our working (content development) lives.
