Beyond the Basics: Designing AI Enhanced Learning Experiences

Time is precious and keeping learners engaged is crucial. So how can we ensure that our teaching doesn't just cover the curriculum but truly resonates with our audience? In this course, Dr. Sabba Quidwai—author, educator, and CEO of Designing Schools—explores the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to make learning more interactive, personalized, and effective, opening up new pathways for educators, instructional designers, and professionals in development roles to create impactful educational experiences.

Learn how to identify a learning unit or experience you want to design and how to pair the backward design model and design thinking with innovative AI tools. Focus on your ultimate educational goals, your learners' unique needs, and the strategies you need to develop content that truly resonates. Explore practical ways to combine these methodologies with AI and make your instructional design more adaptable and inclusive.
