With “Exploring Generative AI for Learning Design,” you will learn how to use generative AI as a partner in learning design. Throughout the course, we will explore how to incorporate generative AI into several design frameworks. By focusing on the key stages of the learning design process, you can identify areas where generative AI might be most helpful or impactful as you design a learning experience. Explore ways you can use generative AI to help you brainstorm new ideas, create learner personas, draft course outlines, and more. As you reach the end of the course, you will learn how to use generative AI within your own instructional design process.This is the first course in the series "Generative AI as a Learning Design Partner," which introduces generative AI to the learning design process to support the creation of engaging instructional design. For educators in the state of Michigan: This series, "Generative AI as a Learning Design Partner," is approved in the state of Michigan for a maximum of 15 State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs) for educators. The successful completion of all 3 courses in the series will be required to claim SCECHs.

In “Using Generative AI for Learning Design Activities,” you’ll experiment with how generative AI supports learning design tasks. Throughout the course, instructors will use an applied case study to illustrate how generative AI can enhance learning design. You will then apply these insights to various activities, including drafting learning objectives, brainstorming, aligning course outcomes, and creating learner personas. You’ll then scope and conduct an experiment using generative AI, sharing your experiment results with peers in the course.This is the second course in the series "Generative AI as a Learning Design Partner," which introduces generative AI to the learning design process to support the creation of engaging instructional design. For educators in the state of Michigan: This series, "Generative AI as a Learning Design Partner," is approved in the state of Michigan for a maximum of 15 State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs) for educators. The successful completion of all 3 courses in the series will be required to claim SCECHs.

In "Strategizing the Use of Generative AI in Learning Design," you’ll explore how learning designers can partner with various stakeholders to use generative AI responsibly during design. A policy expert will discuss important considerations for learning professionals integrating generative AI into their processes. You’ll determine the strengths and limitations of generative AI for use within design projects and learning situations. Finally, you’ll develop a strategy for using a custom GPT.This is the final course in the series "Generative AI as a Learning Design Partner," which introduces generative AI to the learning design process to support the creation of engaging instructional design.
