Designing a Syllabus Using Generative AI
Need to update or design a syllabus? Using artificial intelligence (AI) may be a good option to assist with this task. In this session, we will explore how to develop an effective, standards-based syllabus. We will also discuss potential limitations related to using this emerging technology for syllabus creation.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to do the following:
- recognize how AI can be used to create a standards-aligned syllabus;
- demonstrate how AI can streamline and optimize the syllabus creation process;
- evaluate the pros and cons of using AI to develop a syllabus.
