Generative AI systems and Learning-Experience Design

The central thesis of the presentation is built upon the premise that the most effective, efficient, and appealing educational outcomes of generative AI systems, like ChatGPT, are conditional on empirical evidence collected during the long and rich history of learning experience design. On the other hand, these generative AI systems highlight the shortcomings of conventional education (such as essay assessment) and spark a radical shift in the field.

The discussion will start with an overview of the large language models’ (e.g., ChaptGPT, Bing and Bard) context, including their generic educational applications. Then the presentation will focus on crafting the generative AI systems’instructional prompts, which implement evidence-informed learning experience design findings. Work-out examples will be presented. There will be suggestions for the research agenda along the way. Some core publications will be shared.
