Episode 259: Exploring AI's Role in Instructional Design

In this episode of My EdTech Life, we welcome back Dr. Luke Hobson, who shares his insights on utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in instructional design. We explore the potential of using AI as a tool to aid content creation and improve student experiences. However, we also discuss the challenges, such as the slow pace of adoption in higher education, data privacy concerns, and the need for a thorough understanding of AI systems to avoid reliance on first outputs. While touching upon the future prospects of AI, we delve into the importance of effective, quality-focused utilization instead of just mass production. Dr. Hobson further shares tips for effective, prompt engineering in AI and encourages ongoing experimentation for best results.00:28 Introduction and Welcome00:57 Appreciation for Audience Support01:26 Introduction of Guest - Dr. Luke Hobson02:32 Dr. Luke Hobson's Background and Work04:34 AI's Influence on Instructional Design05:22 Customizing GPT for Instructional Design08:11 Reflections on AI's Evolution in Instructional Design14:58 AI's Impact on Learning Management Systems17:02 AI's Role in Content Creation23:22 AI Adoption in Higher Education31:55 Addressing Institutional Turmoil and Change32:10 The Role of Innovation in Education32:31 The Shift in Plagiarism Detection32:57 The Impact of AI on Teaching and Learning33:36 Adapting to New Learning Methods33:55 Incorporating AI in Higher Education35:35 The Role of AI in Professional Development36:15 The Use of AI in Course Design37:42 The Future of Dissertations and Academic Writing43:29 The Challenges and Barriers in Instructional Design56:22 The Power of Branding and Marketing in Instructional Design🎙️ Love our content?
