Description of this event:

Although some futurists predict that AI will replace jobs, more predict that people will work alongside AI as AI becomes more integrated into our daily work processes. This case study explores how the team that produced the eConcordia course, Introduction to Training and Development (EDUC 240) worked alongside AI to produce the course. 

Specifically, AI was used to assist with a number of tasks: (1) to produce various segments of scenarios, which helped to introduce learning content and make the material more concreate and personal to the learners; (2) to assist with compliance with accessibility requirements, including various checks of accessibility and generating alt-text for visuals and transcriptions of videos; and (3) to generate tests and reports.

From this, the team has generated suggestions for best practices that others might follow when working with AI to create course materials, whether they work with an eConcordia course or work on their own within Concordia, which we share in this session for training professionals, pedagogical counselors, continuing education staff, and instructors.

Winterfest will take place Wednesday, February 5 to Friday, February 21, 2025. For more information click here.
