OLC: Call Us Irresponsible: Designing Online Curricula for the AI Era (Vendor Webinar)

In this webinar, we propose a bold new model for course design that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into the curriculum. Breaking away from traditional limitations on AI use, we explore how strategically embedding AI tools within online course content enables students to experiment, problem solve, and improve their digital competencies. 

The webinar will begin with a brief demonstration of how students can easily use LLMs to complete traditional online assignments like discussion posts, essay questions, and quizzes. Next, attendees will be introduced to a course design model grounded in a rearranged Bloom’s Taxonomy (Hardman, 2024). Then, attendees will engage in a design sprint aimed at developing content and assessments that directly incorporate LLMs into the student experience. The focus will be on real-world applications of LLMs in online course design, with participants leaving the session equipped with strategies and examples they can use immediately in their own contexts. Join us in a foray into irresponsible student use of AI!

Intended Audience

This session is aimed at educators and designers at all levels of tool proficiency, with scaffolded models and examples.
